This book is used, in 'as new' condition. No wear to covers, no markings inner pages. Spine intact, no creases. "The Serpent's Curse is the second full-length novel in the Copernicus Legacy, an epic tween adventure series that New York Times bestselling author Ridley Pearson says is "full of mystery and intrigue."
Wade, Lily, Darrell, and Becca may have found the Copernicus Legacy's first relic—a beautiful blue stone named after the constellation Vela—but they have lost much more than they have gained. Darrell's mother, Sara, has been kidnapped by Galina Krause, the conniving leader of the Teutonic Order, who hopes that the renowned academic will lead her and her minions to the next relic.
That means the stakes couldn't be higher for the Kaplan kids, who trek across the cold wilderness of Siberia, along the winding canals of Venice, and through the streets of Moscow's Red Square in search of their beloved family member and the sought-after relic called the Serpens. In the process, they meet another network of Guardians and discover that Galina's plan for Sara involves a scientific experiment that could jeopardize her life.
Filled with another globe-trotting quest and more riddles, puzzles, and secret histories, The Serpent's Curse is a heart-stopping and suspenseful read for fans of Rick Riordan and Peter Lerangis. The second book in a six-book, six-novella journey, The Serpent's Curse will leave readers hungry for the next adventure and excited to enter a sweepstakes to participate in a real-life scavenger hunt hosted by Tony Abbott that lets fans become part of the story."
