The second book in the new adventure trilogy from the beloved author of The Hero's Guide to Saving Your Kingdom.
It's 1883âonly a few months after Molly Pepper; her mother, Cassandra; and her friend, Emmett, saved New York from an attack by the megalomaniacal Ambrose Rector while managing to preserve the reputations of Alexander Graham Bell and Thomas Edison, whose technology was manipulated in Rectorâs scheme. Their selfless heroism will finally earn them a place in the Inventorsâ Guild, alongside the greatest minds of their generation.
Unless, of course, no one knows that they did any of that.
Left with nothing but empty promises and a struggling pickle shop after the government chooses to cover up the crisis, Molly, Cassandra, and Emmett have no idea where to turnâuntil they learn of a daring expedition to the South Pole, where an meteorite of mysterious power is embedded, and where Emmettâs father, explorer and ship captain Wendell Lee, disappeared years ago.
With the fate of the world hanging in the balance, our heroes commandeer an experimental seacraft to make their play on the pole. But the trip is more treacherous than they realize, and thereâs no guarantee that they will return successfulâif they even return at all.
