. Arthur and Maudie’s interests may be diverging as they find their place in the world, but their love for each other is stronger than any obstacles life may through in their path, even when these are a natural part of growing up!

This final book in the trilogy of the adventures of the Brightstorm twins, Arthur and Maudie, was as adventurous and exciting as the previous two books. As always, I adored following the journey on the gorgeous maps. I don’t want to give any spoilers, but there was an encounter with their Mum’s sapient moth that brought so many tears – incredibly poignant and beautiful!

Maudie and Arthur have definitely found a place in my heart, and I have adored seeing them grow and mature in this final adventure. Leaving behind the unrest that is stirring as the result of a new faction in Lontown Society, the Aurora crew begin their adventure with a couple of new crew members aboard: Gan, the fearless niece of some old friends, and the rather nervous volcanologist, Professor Hugo Waynecroft. In an effort to cheer them up, Harriet offers them the chance to go on another expedition and, this time, they can choose where to explore …After a visit from their aunt, Eudora Vane, where she makes a kind gesture and a suggestion, they decide to explore the Volcanic North where their parents had discovered the Brightstorm moth, their family symbol.

Yes – it is gripping, exciting and action-packed, but it is also poignant and heart-warming: an adventure which makes your heart both race and sing. Long live the Earthbear!
