As they soon discover, below their home city of Edinburgh lies a powerful river of magic, known as a ‘Ley Line’, which is set to wreak havoc when it transforms a pile of forgotten books into a tiny yeti, a miniature alien... and a full-sized evil witch with a thirst for misery.
Will they solve the clues and find the mystery box in time?
