Ruby Rosemount is flying! A magic carpet (with attitude) is about to take her on the adventure of her life to a magical oasis. There genies, wicked villains, sand sprites, spells and dungeons will test all of her powers - including the ones she still doesn't know she has.

Babaganoosh spread her wings like a swan. With several mighty beats that sent the dead leaves scuttling she rose up past the naked treetops, up, up, up until they were surrounded by stars and lit by the moon... Ruby's friends arrive on a flying camel to use one of the most valuable magical objects that Granny McQuirky keeps in the attic - the travellers telescope. When Ruby's house-proud mother gives it a polish, she sets off a series of strange and dangerous events that catapult Ruby, the magic carpet, Avalon and Jaffa into a dark forest in a far off land. To Ruby's horror she discovers they are not alone...

Mr Swank turned to face them. 'The Doomsday Curse calls up the four forces of nature - water, air, earth and fire... Ruby's studies at the Academy of Peace are cut short when a terrible curse is invoked. Who is doing this? Why have her mother and Granny disappeared? Long-hidden secrets about Ruby's family are about to be uncovered, and they could have disastrous consequences for everyone.
