Take the humor of Georgia Byng and the adventure of a Children of the Lamp novel, then add in some fabulous and quirky mythical creatures, and you get this enchanting and heartwarming story of family, friendship, and some time-traveling hijinks.

Stepsiblings Milly, Michael, Jason, and Jess are no strangers to magic, but when a phoenix crash-lands into their backyard looking for help, their lives are turned upside down. Guided by an intelligent treasure map, the four children embark on a hair-raising hunt across the world, through the past, present, and future. And with a crazed phoenix-worshipping cult on their tail, a grumpy gryphon to soothe, and time paradoxes to avoid, Milly, Michael, Jason, and Jess will need all their wits and bravery if they hope to succeed.
