    About this audiobook

    From the award-winning Jaclyn Moriarty comes a spellbinding tale of unlikely friendship, unexpected magic and competitive athletics. The town of Spindrift is frequented by all kinds of Shadow Mages and charlatans. It's also home to the Orphanage School, where Finlay lives with Glim, Taya, and Eli. Just outside town is the painfully posh Brathelthwaite Boarding School, home to Honey Bee, Hamish, and Victor, Duke of Ainsley. When the two schools compete at the Spindrift Tournament, the stakes are high, tensions are higher, and some people are out to win at any cost. Before long, the orphans and the boarding school kids are at each other's throats. And then the Whispering Wars break out, and Spindrift is thrust onto the front lines. Children are being stolen; witches, sirens, and a deadly magical flu invade the town; and all attempts to fight back are met with defeat. Finlay, Honey Bee, and their friends must join forces to outwit the encroaching forces of darkness, rescue the stolen children, and turn the tide of the war. But how can one bickering troupe outwit the insidious power of the Whisperers?

      This companion to The Extremely Inconvenient Adventures of Bronte Mettlestone is a story about orphans, athletics and friendship. In Spindrift, there’s a rivalry between the children from the orphanage and those from the Brathelthwaite Boarding School. But their town becomes the frontlines of the Whispering Wars; children disappear, people are struck down by a strange flu, witches attack and townsfolk mistrust their neighbours. Finlay, Honey Bee and their friends have to set their private war aside and work together.I spent the first half of the book thinking I would enjoy it so much more if I were twelve years old, or at least if I remembered The Extremely Inconvenient Adventures in greater detail. It doesn’t help that the illustrations are not to my taste.But I warmed to the characters more as they warmed to each other, and Moriarty has a satisfying way of making minor details turn out to be unexpectedly important. Also, there are dragons. I was glad I’d made the effort.
