Matty thought the scrapyard had revealed all its secrets… he was wrong.
When a hidden entrance beneath the workshop floor leads to a mysterious underground lab, Matty, Spark, and their friend Bex discover something far bigger than they ever imagined.
Strange technology. Hidden messages. And a past that’s been buried for a long time.
As they explore deeper, the lab begins to reveal its secrets — but not without consequences. The more they uncover, the more they realise just how powerful — and unpredictable — it all is.
Now, Matty and his friends must work together to understand what they’ve found before things spiral out of control.
Packed with mystery, adventure, and heart, Matty and Spark: The Hidden Lab is the exciting second book in the series — perfect for young readers who love action, friendship, and a touch of sci-fi.
A brave young moth sets off on an epic quest to save his clan and the kingdom from peril in this first book in the sweeping Moon Realm fantasy middle grade series--perfect for fans of Wilderlore and Erin Hunter's Warriors series.
Catclaw dreams that one day he will have the gift of prophecy, just like his Dreamkin ancestors.
But many moons ago, the Dreamkins were exiled from the other noble moth clans for a crime too awful to even speak of, and their gift of prophecy was lost. No Dreamkin has seen the future in generations. So when Catclaw receives a vision telling him that all the moth clans are in terrible danger, he's branded a liar and exiled.
Catclaw knows it's the right thing to protect his fellow moths, even if his own clan doesn't believe him, so he sets out alone on the long and treacherous journey back to Queen Adeia's Kingdom to warn them.
But there is more to the moth clans' history than Catclaw ever knew, and the closer he gets to the kingdom, the more the danger grows.
