It' s been two months since Alice TodHunter Moon— who insists on being called Tod— left her home in the seaside PathFinder village to pursue a life of Magyk in the Castle. Being Apprentice to ExtraOrdinary Wizard Septimus Heap is tricky, though— there' s loads of new Magyk to learn, and she dearly misses her friends Oskar and Ferdie. But at least she' s mastered the UnSeen Charm.
She' s lucky she has, too— that UnSeen will come in handy when she sets out with Oskar and Ferdie on a perilous journey to retrieve the Egg of the Orm from the Desert of the Singing Sands. If they don' t reach the Egg before it hatches, the new baby Orm could imprint on the evil sorcerer Oraton-Marr, giving him unlimited Magyk to do with what he wishes. . . .
Bursting with humorous and poignant moments, SandRider celebrates the satisfaction of taking charge of one' s path in life— unexpected adventures and all.
