In the six additional Stage 9 Magpies stories from Roderick Hunt and Alex Brychta, the magic key whisks the children into a series of breathtaking adventures in exotic places. Biff and Wilf meet the daring Princess Aisha in "The Blue Eye" and "Rescue"; Biff and Chip help to stem a dyke and catch a robber in "Dutch Adventure"; Nadim and Anneena show some wacky inventors what to do in "The Flying Machine"; and the children find themselves among a troupe of troubadours in "The Finest in the Land". Kipper also embarks on an adventure in "Key Trouble" but his ill treatment of the magic key results in a nasty experience.
