Operation Bungaree (#03 The Inkwell Chronicles Series)

Publisher's Description:

Mystery and danger abound in book three of The Inkwell Chronicles, a fast-paced middle-grade fantasy series about magic ink, a secret society, and a boy who learns to make his mark.

In Operation Bungaree, the third and final book in The Inkwell Chronicles, Everett and his little sister Bea find themselves drawn even more deeply into the secret world of the Inklings, those who seek to protect the world’s rapidly diminishing supply of magic Ink. Everett, separated from the group in an improbable, perilous predicament, fights to find his way home. Meanwhile, Bea and the other Inklings search desperately for ways to help him, as increasingly clever enemy operatives close in from all sides. With time and Ink dwindling, will Everett find his way back home?

Fans of The Silver Arrow, The Bookwanderers, and Inkheart will love this classic battle of good and evil that pits creativity against the forces that would seek to blot it out for good.

Summary:

The Ink is running out of time.

After narrowly escaping the headquarters of the League of the Hawk, Everett and Bea jump a ship bound for Australia in search of the next clue to the source of the power of the Ink. As the twins try to stay one step ahead of the League, they meet a new ally with secrets of his own—and discover a surprising connection to a well-known author. Meanwhile, the League has been rebuilding in their absence, and they're preparing a trap that will lure Everett and Bea directly into their clutches. With danger closing in, the twins must rely on the Ink more than ever to unlock the mystery behind the power that has protected and guided them throughout their journey.
