About This Book
Smelly pirates and charging rhinoceros - Grace Darling already possesses a vivid imagination, but when supernatural forces hold her prisoner, she soon realises it's not a game. Why was she transported to such a strange and spooky place, and what is the connection to her father? Professor Lution, the Chancellor of Camals, (The College of Customs and Myths and Legends), has a problem. Although there have been Darlings at Camals for generations, there is considerable opposition to the latest candidate, Grace. As a compromise, Professor Lution proposes conducting a suitability test, which on the surface, is relatively simple - follow the clues and find a book. Being ignorant of these facts, Grace is introduced to the world of the supernatural, and finds herself in Beatrigone, which is in effect, a giant film set. However, when the test is hijacked by the evil Viletrix and his hideous spectral army, Camals loses control. With the assistance of Wendy Wallace - who just 'happened' to be there, Pan, Arjunar - a historical archer, Gwiffyn - a mysterious wise woman, and four extremely angry Incan ghosts, amongst many others, Grace wins the battle for Beatrigone, but it is not over yet. Upon returning home, she must decide whether to attend Camals, or have all knowledge of Beatrigone, its strange and quirky inhabitants, and indeed the college itself, wiped from her memory.
