'[A] thrilling, full-tilt adventure' - GuardianFamily secrets, a kingdom in danger, the adventure of a lifetime for two brothers and their horse . .

But Grandfather is no longer around . . .

So when the family home is under suddenly threat, it’s on Tick to put everything he’s learned into practice and protect his family, by taking them on a quest filled with danger. Because it’s not just their home at risk; enemies are invading the whole land. He has only six moons to get to Kings’ Keep and warn their ruler .

But Tick is determined to honour his grandfather’s last advice – Make it count, Small Wonder. . .
