Tumblagooda: The story of a strange missing thing

by Suzanne Ingelbrecht, Michael Inouye (Illustrator)

Overview

Shortly after the events of book one, we return to the coastal town of Mirmouth where George refuses to go to the police about Tumblagooda despite her father Seamus's appeals. George is worried about school bully, Jed Ostler. Will he keep quiet about the "alien" who saved him from drowning at Red Cliff beach?

And just where is Tumblagooda now, anyway?

As George and Mac continue their adventures, they find more than they bargained for in a cliffside Aladdin's cave, and George is forced to confront issues of honesty, loyalty and the missing spectre of family.

When she thinks she can hear Tumblagooda communicating telepathically with her through the walls of a local mine, the stage is set for a course of action that will have potentially far-reaching consequences...
