About this book
Eleven-year-old twins Myles (the meticulous mind) and Beckett (the fearless doer) are left home with only a smart security system—until a desperate troll bursts into their lives. Soon they’re being hunted by a ruthless nobleman, a relentless nun, and tangled up with a fairy-in-training sworn to protect the creature. Packed with whip-smart humor, high-tech gadgets, and fast-paced escapes, this adventure blends science and magic in classic Colfer style. Perfect for fans of Artemis Fowl and readers who enjoy clever capers with plenty of laughs.
