The Secrets of Mercy Hall The orphanage is in trouble again, this time financial trouble. George, Milly, Tommy and Singer go back through the thorn hedge in search of the diamond traders of the No Good Lands. But danger lurks in every corner: Snakeheads guard the trade route, and the Robes and their old adversary, Jethro Barking, are hot on their trail. Help is at hand from their old friends, Drago and Batty, and some new ones, like the walking, talking Polytrees, the brave little Jambucks and Tod Beanpole, the out-of control rocket boy who lives on the mountain. And thanks to the Rainbow Cave, the children now have strange powers of their own... Can the children make it to the No Go...
