The Perilous Promotion of Trilby Moffat
Much-loved award-winning Sydney author Kate Temple is back with a brilliant sequel to her Trilby Moffat series.

‘This looks dangerous,’ said Trilby, who was tied to an antique parlour chair teetering on the edge of a rocky cliff. The man in the top hat arched one prickly eyebrow. ‘Children can be so ungrateful. This will be the trip of a lifetime!’ he said, pointing to the endless dark water below.

Trilby Moffat is in grave danger, again. When she arrives on a secret island outside of time, in search of her missing mother, she knows she’s in trouble. A strange festival is about to take place and Trilby is the guest of honour.

While Trilby may want to sit down to a big slice of cake and a good crossword puzzle, life has other plans – perilous plans which involve treasure markets, floating cupcakes and a skittish prehistoric bird named Anton who will most definitely destroy Trilby’s favourite jumper.
Just when she thinks time is on her side, Trilby is about to get a perilous promotion.
