***This is the second Ellie Ment book, a Moonbeam Children's Book Award-winning series***
When a local farmer is accused of polluting the skies, the case seems cut and dry. The evidence is clear. The science backs it up. The court delivers its verdict.
But the farmer is a friend's mum, and for the first time, eleven-year-old scientist, Ellie Ment is pushed into the one place she never expected to be: questioning the scientific facts. Her search for the truth leads her deep underground, through forgotten tunnels, to impossible technology, and straight back into the secret world she cast aside.
What she finds isn't a clear-cut villain. It's power. It's compromise. It's adults who believe they know best. And as she digs deeper, the question stops being whether Ellie can solve the mystery - it's whether she can survive the answer.
Ellie Ment is the Amazon #1 Best Selling series where invention battles power, evidence defies authority, and doing the right thing may cost everything.
