Excerpt
Squirt whirls around. Her wide eyes tell it all. She's found the gargoyle.
A high-pitched screech fills the air. It echoes through the cave, making my hair stand on end.
I look for a hiding place but find none. "What do we do now?"
"Run!" Squirt charges toward the path and scrambles down.
I should listen. But then a swirling blue circle appears on the wall. I want to see what it is. It grows bigger until it becomes a portal, like the one we came through. Is it the way home? Then I see what comes out. Kanaima! The jaguar-man's gold eyes spot me, and his lips curl into a snarl. Fire leaps out from between his claws. My heart pounds while I back away. He steps forward, revealing the gargoyle behind him. Its red eyes burn like fire. I scream and run. Past Medusa. Down into the crevice.
