Bøger i Merlin's School for Ordinary Children serien

One would think that Calder Cove’s children, along with their parents, would be reluctant to have anything to do with Merlin’s School after the adventure of The Ring of Curses. But there is a strange and powerful force that surrounds the place and this force seems to remove all hesitancy. Once again invites are eventually dispatched, finding selected children waiting eagerly to gain entrance to the fortified institution.This year though, Bridget Lincoln, Tilderly Davis and some of their friends become savvy to a dangerous scheme about the retrieval of a magical stone and a sword. Everyone feels safe enough about their involvement – or lack thereof - until Bridget and Tilderly, along with three other students, stumble through a portal. Unfortunately, it is not an easy thing to return to the school, for it disappears into the mists of time leaving everyone trapped inside another dimension. There they meet several witches, and archer and a shape-shifting cat. They are also informed that they are part of a prophecy - one that calls them the Sword Seekers - and that is what they must do ... find a sword.Pursued by an assortment of Ogres, Goblins and Trolls, the children must make tracks to Grave’s End; the last known resting place of this mysterious and much coveted weapon. 

A reclusive old man had to die before something of major proportions happened in the small seaside town of Calder Cove. Then, after a series of weird and rather extraordinary events a strange and mysterious castle is revealed - a castle that seemed to have appeared out of the darkness and silence of nowhere.Was it magic? Or was it something more sinister.In time, it is made known that the massive grey edifice is nothing beyond a school, but when the exclusively invited children finally step inside, the huge doors are locked securely behind them. They are then thrown - without warning - into the unknown. It is with great trepidation that they begin to question this, asking … is this place really a school?An answer to their dilemma begins to show itself after an intriguing visit to an Aztec pyramid that ends with the theft of a cursed ring, and the eventual disappearance of the school’s bully, Neville Cormac. When some students ban together to look for him they stumble upon magical rooms and hidden passageways, a golden door and … most horrifically … their own doom! 

Year three at Merlin's School for Ordinary Children and the adventure continues. Will the students get any closer to finding out what is really going on? Or will a unknown murderer put an end to everything?
