The third book about Beaver Towers opens with a reunion between Philip and his best friends from the earlier adventures, Baby B the beaver and Nick the hedgehog. They have been sent by Mr Edgar, the telepathic patriarch of Beaver Towers, to summon Philip away from his ordinary life into a perilous confrontation with the Prince of Darkness. I enjoyed the scope and the pace of the action in this book, but was rather disappointed by the ending, which seems to diminish the story into a prologue for future instalments. However, the magical adventures of the three companions are vividly depicted, and the story generates enough tension to make this a good book for reading aloud.
