I haven’t technically started this book yet because I’m just about finished rereading the original series. This series has always been a favorite, and returning to the world(s) of daemons, witches, gyptians, smart and determined kids and Arctic adventuring has been so fun!

“Eleven-year-old Malcolm Polstead and his dæmon, Asta, live with his parents at the Trout Inn near Oxford.
