Book ID/图书代码： 10000010B36651
English Summary/英文概要： Two summers ago, Venice was dying and an 11-year-old girl made her first (so she thought) visit to the city where she instantly felt she belonged. Teodora, it transpired, was the undrowned child, destined to save Venice from its long-standing enemy, Bajamonte Tiepolo, the traitor. According to a long ago prophecy, Teo and Renzo (the studious son) were the only people equipped to defeat the baddened magic that the traitor brought to the stricken city. But they couldn’t kill him - and so, subdued, but bitter, he returned to his shadowy existence.
Now he’s back. And in need of a new army, he sets his sights on London - which is weak with mourning the death of the Queen, Victoria.
Teo and Renzo find themselves on board a ship for orphans whose course seems mysteriously set for London. Once again, destiny brings them face to face with their enemy, who will stop at nothing to destroy not only London and Venice but the children at the heart of the prophecy that binds him to his failure.
A thrilling sequel to THE UNDROWNED CHILD, full of mermaids, mourning and menace, in which Teo and Renzo must fight to save London and Venice from baddened magic.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 兩年前的夏天，威尼斯已經瀕臨毀滅的邊緣。11歲的小女孩特奧朵拉終於可以遊覽嚮往的城市威尼斯（她自認為是第一次），並立即找到了歸屬感。特奧朵拉就是那個倖存的小女孩，而她肩負著對抗叛國賊Bajamonte Tiepolo、拯救威尼斯的重任。根據一個古老的寓言，Teo 和Renzo是唯一可以破解Bajamonte可怕法力的人。但是他們卻不能將他殺死，所以Bajamonte儘管會在一定程度上誠服，但是他絕不會甘心。他只會隱藏在暗影之中，再候時機。
現在，他又一次回來。由於急需一直新生軍隊，他把目標鎖定在倫敦—這座城市因為維多利亞女王的離世而變得脆弱不堪。
Teo 和Renzo發現他們登上一艘運送孤兒到倫敦的輪船，而此行的目的非常可疑。命運再一次讓他們與老對手Bajamonte碰面，而這個傢伙將不惜一切代價毀掉倫敦，威尼斯，以及傳言中必會將他擊敗的孩子們。
作為THE UNDROWNED CHILD的續集，本書中描繪了眾多美人魚，哀痛和威脅，而Teo 和 Renzo必須拯救兩座岌岌可危的城市。（from XMM）

"Everyone who has been to Venice should and must read THE UNDROWNED CHILD and the preorder this sequel... Those that haven’t should visit and take THE UNDROWNED CHILD with them."---Bookseller, Harrods, WATERSTONES.COM
"the supporting cast adds sparkle after sparkle... I was most glad to reacquaint myself with Venice’s curry-loving, salty tongued mermaids...Turtledove, a kind hearted, orphan-saving, talking bulldog was my other favourite. He’s as memorable as any Narnian creation... There are ghosts, talking animals, pirates, orphans, heroes and villains in worlds between the linings, but there’s also a vivid and utterly accurate historical picture of London and Venice at the time."---THE BOOK BAG
"Without reading the stories it’s hard to convey just how whimsical and wonderful they are. Historically imbued with so many interesting true tidbits, filled with unique and charming characters, and told in the most enjoyably unusual language, these books are like nothing I’ve ever read before. They are at once the quintessential children’s adventure story while being told in such an intelligent way that I can easily see them becoming great classics."---THE DIARY OF A BOOKWORM
"Michelle Lovric has provided another rip-roaring tale of amazing ingenuity and inventiveness.... Lovric’s imaginative characterisation knows no bounds, and her dialogue sparkles with wit. For an adult reader who unashamedly loved every word of it, the book gives a glimpse of the weird and wonderful Victorian world... for younger readers it offers a treasure trove of delight, with an action packed plot spiced by historical events and magic."---HISTORICAL NOVEL SOCIETY
