When Sebastian is chosen as the High Priest's apprentice at the Temple of Ora, everyone's shocked. But Sebastian soon discovers that as apprentice, he can have anything he wants...limitless cream cakes, training sessions with Golden United, even zip-wires and donkeys to liven up ceremonies at the Temple. He can pass entertaining new laws to annoy teachers, as well. But then there are strange explosions, falling objects, whispered threats. Sebastian realizes the Temple, with its all-seeing golden statue, holds many secrets. Can he ignore it all? Or should Sebastian and his pet rat, Gerald, risking life and whisker, try to out-fox the most powerful mob in the city?
