The Wings of Ruksh

‘Strange as it may seem, as he came in to land at Edinburgh Airport last year, the captain of the London flight reported sighting a dragon…’ A year on, and life has calmed down for Neil and Clara MacLean. A quiet meal in The Sultan’s Palace restaurant. What could go wrong? But they hadn’t counted on the mirror! How is it connected to the missing Sultan’s Crown, and what secrets does the mysterious Black Tower hold? Winged horses, snow witches, magic mirrors – how did they get here and where are they going? From an Edinburgh literally cloaked in tartan, through the forbidding Highland hills, Neil and Clara set out with old and new friends on a perilous journey full of danger, daring – and a reluctant broomstick.

Reviews of The Wings of Ruksh

'For children who have read and enjoyed the Harry Potter series this is a fantastic title with which to continue their journey into the fantasy genre. Hopefully there are more adventures of the MacLeans and the MacArthurs to come.' — Hilary Tomney, The School Librarian 'A wonderful comic tale infused with the excitements and mysteries of the Scottish Highlands … Ideal for pre-teens in search of a flight of fancy to carry them away from our ordinary world, and Forbes's writing weaves a story which will engage both boys and girls from start to finish.' — Mel Tibbs, Juno Magazine
