Felix is back at school and looking forward to a visit from his friend Betony. But when a bully pushes him in the corridor, all his plans are sunk. In Felix's bag, forgotten until now, is the magical lamp he's kept from last summer, and from its spout escapes a furious genie. Can Felix and Betony cross the Divide, dodge snarling snagglefangs, and stop the ultimate spell that could wreck both of their worlds for ever? This is the widely-anticipated concluding story in Elizabeth Kay's wildly successful trilogy about the back-to-front world across the Divide.
After his daring adventures in The Divide and Back To The Divide, Felix is safely back at school in the real world and looking forward to a visit from his best friend, Betony. But when Rhino, the school bully, knocks over Felix's bag in the corridor, all his plans are shattered. In Felix's bag, forgotten until this moment, is the magical lamp he kept last summer. From its spout escapes a furious brandee (genie) who takes Rhino hostage, demanding that Felix and Betony return him home. Together they make the journey across the Divide, but little do they know that inside the lamp, Rhino has discovered a dangerous new toy; an enchanted jinx box that will give him everything his heart desires...Together with their old friends, Felix and Betony must cross frozen northlands, fight terrifying wolf-like snagglefangs and outwit devious japegrins, to stop Rhino and the trickster jinx box that could wreck both their worlds for ever.
Felix is a special sort of hero. He is brave and resourceful, but has a heart condition that threatens his life. His parents take him on holiday to Costa Rica, where they visit the Divide, a place where the waters that run down to the Pacific and Atlantic oceans separate. But at this exact, magical spot Felix faints, and when he opens his eyes, he discovers he's arrived in an amazing back-to-front world where mythical creatures and magic are real, and humans and science are just rumour and legend. Luckily, Ironclaw, a fearsome, but kindly brazzle takes him under his wing, and together with Bettony, a tangle-girl, they set out to find a cure for Felix's condition and the way back home. And so begins a journey beyond their wildest dreams. Fast-paced and funny, The Divide is a quirky and immensely enjoyable adventure.
Snakeweed, the arch villain is at large. Having failed to sell bad magic to the real world, he wants to go back home. All he needs is the spell hidden in Felix's notebook. Snakeweed's visit leaves Felix reeling - and his parents literally rooted to the spot. Worse, the curse on them appears to be some sort of magical infection. There's only one solution. Felix must find a way back across the Divide to find a counter-charm that can save his parents and the Earth in time.
