Black Powder and Moonlight

Disappearing children, ghostly Moon Drinkers, a dark menacing stranger and a young Muddle detective determined to find her friends, combine in this unique, funny and imaginative adventure.


The tranquility of Muddlemarsh is shattered when Kite, a young Muddle pilot, disappears one night closely followed by a young Beadle, Alexander, and Dot, a bright young Myrmidot.  Poke, the Muddle detective, will not rest until she finds her best friend Kite and sets out to investigate the mystery. 


Do the strange, eerie beings who seem to appear from nowhere have something to do with the children vanishing? And are they somehow connected to the tall, menacing stranger who stalks the Muddles?


In the midst of the chaotic Muddle world, where no one is what they seem to be, it is up to the brave young Muddles to save the day. But no one in Muddlemarsh is prepared for what is in store.
