But first, Simon Heap must get his master to the Port Witch Coven's door, which may require a bit more Darke Magyk-and a much stronger stomach-than he bargained for. Is Simon up to the task?Meanwhile, ExtraOrdinary Wizard Marcia Overstrand has taken her young Apprentice, Septimus Heap, on a field trip to the Port. But what Marcia had hoped would be a fun yet educational outing quickly turns chaotic, for it slipped Marcia's mind that tonight is Hallowseeth-the perfect night for Darke mischief to go unnoticed among the revelers.With Angie Sage's characteristic humor, beloved characters, and Magykal setting, Septimus Heap: The Darke Toad is a must-read for every Septimus fan.
