Publisher's Summary
The dark and thrilling sequel to the book Kirkus called "Harry Potter, Alice in Wonderland, and Inkheart all rolled into one."
When Alice's mysterious Uncle Geryon sends her to help capture a rogue apprentice - a boy who has the same ability Alice has, to read himself into stories - she knows to expect a wild and unpredictable trip. But even though Alice has visited the magical realms inside libraries before, this adventure is far more dangerous. Because Torment, the magic creature holding this library together, has gone mad.
But he might also have information about Alice's missing father.
What the critics say
"Wexler is an able builder of magical worlds and creatures, with labyrinths, an enchanted library, and a feisty, swashbuckling heroine at the center. A story rich in action and allegory - fantasy fans will want to hang on for what comes next." (Kirkus)
"Full of action and adventure, this tale will enthrall fans of the first novel." (School Library Journal)
"With an original concept, a brave and spirited heroine, and tantalizing incipient relationships among the apprentices (including Alice’s hot-and-cold friendship with Isaac, who tricked her in the first volume), Wexler’s series grows stronger by the book." (Horn Book)
