About the Book

Dreadful events are about to strike Fourth World...

In the secret community where, through genetic experiments, animals can talk and children can carry animal genes, an unimaginable alien presence makes its appearance.

In the final exciting novel of The Missing Link trilogy, Kate Thompson, twice winner of the Irish Children's Book of the Year, Bisto Ward raises startling and relevant questions for the twenty-first century.
