About Shadow Thieves: Island of Skulls

In this, the second instalment in the Shadow Thieves series, we return to the story of 14-year-old Tom Morgan: adventure-seeker, earner of street smarts, thief. After being inducted into Beautfort's School for Deceptive Arts after a robbery gone wrong in book one, Tom and his classmates find themselves on a quest through the Mediterranean, in search of valuable treasure. This treasure, though, was hidden by no ordinary foe. Tom and his newfound friends will face countless deadly dangers, new thrilling challenges emerging with every page, as they work together to hunt down the precious goods.

This action-packed sequel will have you too tense even for the edge of your seat. From the first page, readers are totally transported into Tom's world, where threats lurk around every corner and unexpected developments cause you to question everything. With a varied and compelling cast of characters, enticing world-building and written in rich, descriptive prose, this is one not to be missed by any confident, action-loving young reader.
