The family attends Mallory's fencing meet at school. During the tournament, Jared finds a boy identical to him going through Mallory's bag. He transforms into a smaller child when Jared attempts to scare him with his pocket knife. When Jared and Simon discover that Mallory has disappeared, they search for her in an abandoned quarry
Things are getting creepy and tense, but still loads of fun. Excited for the Wrath of Mulgarath fourth has instalment that were not in the movie
Really enjoyed this book

I'm enjoying this series more and more as it continues. I love the dynamics of the siblings' relationships and the way that they talk to each other. I find the three of our main characters to be so realistic and fun, and I love following their story. 

This book was full of action and Fey trickery, and was everything I wanted it to be.We finally meet our big bad guy at the end of this book, so I'm really excited to see where the last installment will take us! 

My 8 year old is loving this series, really loves Mallory and probably wants to take up fencing now.
