Book 2 of the quests of tiny wilde series!

Tiny Wilde would like to believe all is well in Wonderville…

… now that the Immortal Octopus, and source of the Mythics' magical powers, is healing. But not everyone is happy about the return of magic. Tiny's human classmates see him as a scary giant out to get them all, so he's trying to prove them wrong and stay out of trouble.

It's not long, however, before trouble finds him.

Unicorns are disappearing from Wonderville. A frightening midnight visitor, an injured unicorn, and long-lost photos that once belonged to Tiny's mother give Tiny the clues he needs to investigate the disappearances.

Desperate to reunite his dad and his Grandpa Bron, who haven't spoken to each other in years, Tiny sees this adventure as the perfect opportunity to reach out. But when Tiny discovers his grandfather is spending time with dangerous thugs and terrorizing Mythics in the Woods, he's not sure who to trust.

With fellow hero Nalia and new allies Sadie and Numbskull by his side, Tiny sets out to rescue the missing unicorns. Together, they'll battle pirate trolls and trickster pixies, all to restore balance to the Mythic population in this exciting second installment in the Quests of Tiny Wilde series.

  "A giant-sized, magical adventure about finding your inner hero."

BUY THE BOOK

Tiny Wilde is not exactly hero material. Yet.

At twelve years old, he's a giant who hasn't had his growth spurt. He wears Star Wars pyjamas to bed. And he lives in an abandoned warehouse away from human society. Tiny doesn't even have the super strength all giants should have because Mythics lost their magic years ago. Oh, but he can make a spectacular grilled cheese sandwich.

Tiny's nothing like his dad, a legendary giant famous for his heroic quests and ridiculously awesome hair. So when Tiny's mermaid friend, Nalia, recruits him for a dangerous adventure to revive the long-lost magic, Tiny jumps at the chance to prove he can be a hero. And when Tiny's dad is captured by villainous forces, completing the quest becomes a matter of life or death.

With the help of a cantankerous gnome named Podge, Tiny and Nalia must outwit shape-shifters, fight off attacking pixies, and heal the extraordinary ancient creature responsible for all Mythic magic.

With an incomplete prophecy, a perilous journey, and an unlikely set of allies, How to Kidnap a Mermaid invites you on the quest of a lifetime.
