Marnie Midnight - Marnie Midnight 2 (Marnie Midnight, Book 2): Unabridged edition

By Laura Ellen Anderson, Read by To Be Confirmed

The second in a magical illustrated new young fiction series for children aged 7-9 from best-selling author and illustrator, Laura Ellen Anderson!

Marnie Midnight is a little moth with BIG dreams!

Marnie is having so much fun at Minibeast Academy, a school for bugs tucked into an ancient tree at the bottom of the museum gardens. And it’s time for something really exciting – the Great Critter Quest!

The Great Critter Quest is a super-tricky competition held each year. Minibug students form teams and set off to explore the school in the search for clues that they have to work together to solve. The winners of the Quest get an incredible prize and Marnie and her team – best friends Floyd the bee (who is really an A) and Star the super-strong ant – are determined to be first across the finish line. But when someone gets into trouble Marnie and her team have to make an important decision . . . is winning really the most important thing?
