Leonora HAS to enter - it's her best-ever chance to finally stop Luther's dangerous games!

About the book:

Fizzing with fun, friendship and fabulous inventions!' - Maria Kuzniar, author of The Ship of Shadows The level of peril and tension is just perfect for lower Middle-Grade, although the mad-cap comedy and brilliant inventions will ensure this appeals to older readers too! Leonora is smart, resourceful and very relatable main character - and a tech-y genius, which is always a plus (more Girl-In-STEM please!!) The ending of the book wraps up the main adventure nicely, while leaving threads hanging for a sequel kids will chomping at the bit to read! I've adored this e-ARC, and cannot WAIT for my science-obsessed 8yo to read the physical book when it comes out in a couple of weeks.

And in ANOTHER twist, the judges of the competition are two people very dear to Leonora's heart. Leonora and her pals find clues that lead them to Luther's latest evil plan. It's an amusement park called Brightworld built in a desert, under a massive snow globe - and it's terrible for the environment!
