Books with title The Riddle of the Night

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

After a frightening adventure in ancient Egypt, Madeline Mott wants nothing more than to be reunited with her dad at the museum. But the mysterious stone that swept her into the past isn’t that easy to control. And when she and her fellow time-traveler Jack find themselves caught between feuding knights in medieval Scotland, it’s clear things have gone terribly wrong. They become prisoners of the boastful Sir Niall and his annoying little brother, in a castle complete with its own haunted tower. And as Madeline and Jack begin a frantic search for the gemstone, they discover that the tower’s phantom knight is determined to scare them away. But is the frightening apparition really a ghost—or just a clever thief searching for treasure of his own? This is the second book in the Madeline M. series, and it hurtles Madeline and Jack into a daring new adventure in an ancient land of haunted castles, ghostly knights, and hidden treasure. For readers 8 and up.
