Story of the Amulet (version 3 dramatic reading)

The Psammead is back, and this time wishes come with consequences. When the five children encounter their old sand fairy friend again, they learn they've inherited half of a powerful magical Amulet, broken long ago and scattered across time and space. The other half lies hidden somewhere in history, and other seekers far more dangerous than they are searching for it too. What follows is a breathless race through ancient kingdoms, lost cities, and impossible landscapes, where the children must piece together the Amulet before it falls into the wrong hands. E. Nesbit weaves her trademark wit and warmth through this final installment of the Psammead trilogy, delivering a story that understands exactly how children dream of magic: not as power, but as a door to somewhere else. The adventure is urgent, the creatures are strange, and the stakes could not be higher. For anyone who has ever wished they could slip through the back of a pet shop into another world.
