The Hunchback Assignments 3
The leafy ground had looked solid enough but cracked asunder and Modo plunged into a pit, shouting in fear. There was just enough light as he fell to see the bottom lined with sharpened stakes.
While Modo has spent a quiet winter recovering from his adventure in the dark deeps, talk of ancient Egyptian ruins in the midst of the Australian rainforest has been swirling around London. A temple bulges with riches, but also contains danger: the infamous God Face. No one knows what the God Face is or what it is made of, but it is rumoured to be a powerful weapon; anyone who looks upon it will be driven mad.
Modo’s next assignment? Go to Queensland in Australia and discover the truth behind the God Face. He won’t be alone: Octavia and even Mr. Socrates will be accompanying him, as well as Mrs. Finchley, Modo’s beloved caregiver from childhood days. But hot on their trail is the Clockwork Guild, with a brand-new weapon–mechanical birds, capable of transmitting signals as well as delivering poison.
With an airship battle, an escape from spear-waving natives and an astounding discovery-one that hinges on Modo’s true appearance-the Hunchback Assignments series continues to enthrall readers of all ages
