Shortly after the events of book one, we return to the coastal Midwest town of Mirmouth, Western Australia. George refuses to go to the police about the creature Tumblagooda despite her father Seamus's appeals. She is also worried about school bully Jed Ostler. Will he keep quiet about the ?alien? who saved him from drowning at Red Cliff Beach? And just where has Tumblagooda disappeared too anyway? As George and her best friend Mac continue their adventures, they find more than they bargained for in a cliffside Aladdin's cave, and George is forced to confront issues of honesty, loyalty and the missing spectre of family. But when she thinks she can hear Tumblagooda communicating telepathically with her through the walls of a local mine, the stage is set for a course of action that will have potentially far-reaching consequences?
