In Beaver Towers Philip helped the beavers, Mr Edgar and his grandson Baby B, in their struggle to save their island home from the plotting of the wicked witch Oyin. Now she wants her revenge the beavers and their friends need Philip's courage and quick wits to help them again as Oyin summons the forces of Earth, Air, Fire and Water to work her evil way. Twenty-three short, action-packed, suspense-filled chapters, nice touches of humour and very endearing characters (Oyin excepted, she's ultra evil) make this, like its predecessor, a sure-fire read aloud for lower juniors.
