Aileen has failed her initiation as a Wise Woman, but she's still being sent on a quest to save
The Islands of Chaldea by bringing down the transparent wall that blocks one of the four islands from the others and saving the captive prince held there. She's not feeling up to the challenge, but when her famous Wise Woman aunt ends up under a curse, Aileen's going to have to make it work somehow. Helped along by a odd crew, including a large pink cat that can turn invisible, a prophetic parrot, and a spoiled prince, she'll face the many plots against them and the evil magic worker behind it all.
I love that the animals have so much personality in this story. And while you'll see some similarities between these islands and some real-life countries, the Islands of Chaldea are very much their own countries, filled with different magics and wonders. This was the Godmother of Fantasy's last book and it had to be finished by Ursula Jones after Diana died. Diana inspired countless children and adults alike with her
books and she'll be missed.
