Tilly P is back - and this time the claws are out, ready for a FIGHT! Matilda Peppercorn has just about got used to the idea that she might be something rather extraordinary - just as the three weirdy women predicted. But then things start happening that are even more peculiar. Frogs are blowing up here there and everywhere; crows are attacking in formation, and everyone - but EVERYONE - seems to be spoiling for a fight. With the help of her TV-detectiving grandpa and her unusual buddies, combined with superbly excellent kick-boxing training from Judge Felicity Savage, Matilda Peppercorn is determined to get to the bottom of it all ... ... even if she really doesn't like what she's about to find out. The second hilarious adventure in the four-book series about The Legend of Matilda Peppercorn, from Jill Marshall, author of the best-selling Jane Blonde series. Catch up with Matilda's mad escapades with the first in the quartet - DEFEND, and look out for the next book, FALL (coming soon).
