Publisher Description

Lucy has become a firm fixture in the household of Dr Dee, court magician and consultant to Queen Elizabeth I. In return for saving the queen's life, Lucy has been told that she is to work as a spy for Her Grace and that she is to remain where she is and await further instruction...

And then Lucy hears ghostly cries in the house. Convinced that the doctor and his companion, Mr Kelly, are planning a new deception, Lucy sets out to uncover the magician's dark secrets.

A thrilling historical story, full of intrigue and conspiracy, from acclaimed author Mary Hooper.

"As with the first in this series, I found it a light quick read (one sitting). Again while aimed at teens I felt it served as a good introduction to some of the issues of the period."

    " Lucy secretly awaits for when the Queen asks for help. All the while Lucy hears a scream. Good sequel to the book At the House of the Magician. "

    " I really wanted to like this book but again like the first book it was an interesting idea that failed in execution. "

    " Well, this is only a three star because, like others have said, it was a bit pointless to write this book, because it didn't go anywhere, except maybe to make Lucy and Tomas get closer. It was a bit disappointing for me, because I was looking forward to this book. I hope the next one is better. "

    " This book's the follow up to The Magicans apperentice. I found it rather pointless. Nothing came from the 'abdution' or Mistress Pryor, so really, it was a waste of a good authors time. It wasn't one of her best creations! "
