''A great adventure from a wonderful storyteller'' Natasha Farrant

When a stranger turns up on the doorstep of No. 7 Savile Row, Maggie and her friends must embark on a new daring adventure, this time to South America. They are on a mission to find Amelia West, the one person in the world who Maggie is most desperate to meet. But soon find that their search for answers only uncovers more questions.

Why has Amelia disappeared? Who else is searching for her? And why does trouble find them at every turn? With the help of old and new friends, Maggie finds herself in another race across the world, but this time there''s much more at stake than a wager. She must unravel the mystery and find Amelia, before it''s too late.

Perfect for fans of Emma Carroll, Eva Ibbotson and Katherine Rundell, this historical adventure is a breathtaking race around the world - to the heart of Brazil.
