In Flight of the Griffons, the sequel to Kate Inglis's bestseller The Dread Crew: Pirates of the Backwoods, we follow young Missy Bullseye as she ventures from her pirate crew's adopted home base in the Maritimes.
From deep northern woods to great western prairies, Missy wanders far on a secret mission--one that will turn her against her own. She's tracking and spying on a blacklisted pirate crew who disappeared from union radar years before. They've been pulling apart pipelines to sabotage corporate interests in the name of nature, and she's determined to find them.
Along the way, Missy encounters mechanical moths, an outlawed tilt-rotor airship, a mega-pipeline and the unexpected sound of grassland drums. She soon discovers heroes can look like villains and crimes can look like profit.
Includes fifteen full-page illustrations from artist Sydney Smith.
Praise from Tanita Davis, curator of the "Finding Wonderland" literary blog:
"If you're looking for a thoughtful, fast-paced, mad-cap, entertaining novel which will delight you, pick this up. You will not be disappointed, and you'll come away thinking -- which is never a bad thing."
