Written by Angie Sage

Narrated by Nicola Barber

Introducing Alice TodHunter Moon, a Magykal addition to the world of Septimus Heap! Perfect for both established fans of the Septimus Heap series and readers coming to the world of Septimus Heap for the first time, PathFinder is the first book in the Septimus Heap spin-off series, TodHunter Moon.

Taking place seven years after the events of the original Septimus Heap series, PathFinder tells the story of Alice TodHunter Moon, a young PathFinder who leaves her seaside village in search of her friend Ferdie.

Full of Angie Sage's characteristic humor and heart, PathFinder introduces a new cast of young characters—and a new kind of Magyk.

Reviews for TodHunter Moon, Book One

[livingtech_1 · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Read this aloud to my daughter. She said she wanted to rate it a thousand stars.

[margaretpemberton · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

A really good start to this follow on series. New central characters mean you can read this without a great knowledge of the previous Septimus Heap books, but they are so good you really should give them a go. Magykal and at the same time verydown to earth, these are a great read for those who enjoy their magic with lots of adventure and more than a bit of humour.

 must need to read the books by this author or parts related to this book really adventurous and fun but it is a little bit time consuming; a hero journey book

Pathfinder is a magical fantasy novel for children and follows the adventures of Alice Todhunter Moon – who prefers to be called Tod!Tod is a descendent of an ancient race of people who are Pathfinders and who could originally breathe underwater. Now very few of them still have the ability but it is this that initiates the evil sorcerer Oraton-Marr to kidnap the entire village of the remaining Pathfinder’s to steal for him the rare egg of the Great Orm, which is hidden underwater; he plans to throw them all in one by one until someone can fetch it for him. Along the way we meet a variety of Magykal creatures including dragons and garmin – a strange fierce creature. We also meet Tod’s best friends Ferdie and Oskar, and they become intertwined with the characters of another book series by the same author. It isn’t necessary to have read the Septimus Heap Magyk books in order to enjoy this, but it might make you curious about some of the characters and I would thoroughly recommend them also. I found the book a thrilling read, and the further I read, the harder it was to put down. If you like fantasy stories, then this is definitely one for you!
