“Are you sure this is safe?” asked Maud.

“Of course, young’un,” said Mr Galahad. “We only lost two students last year, a school record, no less!”

There was only space for six pupils to compete at a time and Maud was placed in the second group with Wilf. Paprika was in the first group, and Maud watched as they raced off into the murky forest. Soon they were out of sight, but she could hear screams coming from their direction. Maud hoped they were screams of excitement.

Mr Galahad blew his whistle and Maud’s group set off. At first the course seemed to be nothing more than a straight path through the woods, and she couldn’t understand what all the fuss was about. Then her foot hit something and she tripped, tumbling to the ground. As she scrambled back to her feet, hundreds of tiny money spiders showered down into her hair. Well, she thought, stopping to pick them out one by one. At least they’ll bring me good luck.

Wilf ran past, shouting, “I can’t believe you fell for the old spider trap. Don’t you know anything?”

Maud looked back at the course and saw that she’d actually fallen over a tripwire that had been attached to a net in the tree above. She’d have to be more careful from now on.

A few moments later, she was racing towards a pile of leaves that had been swept into the middle of the path. But as she got closer, a gust of wind blew through the leaves, and Maud caught a glimpse of the wood of a trapdoor below them. Heart pounding, she jumped over the pile, trying not to think about what might be underneath it.
