Magical Mallins Wood is the home of the very last Gorgon, a fact known only to the Society for the Protection of Mythical Creatures. But now the wood is under threat from developers, and Col and Connie must try and save the Gorgon before she does something drastic to try and save herself. The second in the "Companions" series, this marvellously told story employs vital environmental issues but doesn't force them on the reader. Ages: 9-11yrs.
