520 "A boy called Christopher is visiting his reclusive
grandfather when he witnesses an avalanche of mythical
creatures come tearing down the hill. This is how
Christopher learns that his grandfather is the guardian of
one of the ways between the non-magical world and a place
called the Archipelago, a cluster of magical islands where
all the creatures we tell of in myth live and breed and
thrive alongside humans. They have been protected from
being discovered for thousands of years; now, terrifyingly,
the protection has worn thin, and creatures are breaking
through. Then a girl, Mal, appears in Christopher's world.
She is in possession of a flying coat, is being pursued by
a killer and is herself in pursuit of a baby griffin. Mal,
Christopher and the griffin embark on an urgent quest
across the wild splendour of the Archipelago, where
sphinxes hold secrets and centaurs do murder, to find the
truth - with unimaginable consequences for both their
worlds. Together the two must face the problem of power,
and of knowledge, and of what love demands of us"--
