Publisher Description
Things can never be the same again.
The Spook and his apprentice, Thomas Ward, have returned to the county after a long journey and a hard battle. But their troubles are far from over. Their home has been over-run by enemy soldiers. The Spook's house is in ruins, the boggart protecting it has fled, and the malicious witches imprisoned in the gardens have escaped.
Tom, Alice, and the Spook must flee, too, across the ocean to the island of Mona. And it's on Mona that this small band fighting against the dark will face an old enemy grown terrifyingly powerful. Will they be able to vanquish an evil that crawls beneath the ground itself? At what cost?
Will Tom and the Spook ever be able to return home?

" I have enjoyed this series. Although in this book I found myself asking is the rigidity of the Spook's good or is there a gray area sometimes? "

" I love this series, but this one fell a little flat. I seem too much of an in between book and the action of the plot was too long coming. Please do better next time Mr. Delaney. "
— Wendy, 1/24/2011 -
" These are just fun and I am sure I will enjoy the next one too--great for kids (even the adult ones)who like a scare, a little humor, and some 'ick' factor. "
— Abby, 1/14/2011 -
" Still love this series. Even after book 7. That's saying a lot for me. I usually don't like series with a lot of books! "
— Kim, 12/31/2010 -
" Not as riveting as his first book. "
— Laura, 12/27/2010 -
" This one dragged for me...not sure if the series is losing its appeal personally or this in-between book that didn't solve any major plot sequences just didn't appeal. "

About Joseph Delaney
Joseph Delaney (1945-2022) was an English teacher before becoming the bestselling author of the Spook's series, which has been published in 30 countries and sold millions of copies. Revenge of the Witch was adapted into a 2014 film, Seventh Son, by director Sergei Bodrov; its cast included Kit Harrington, Jeff Bridges, and Julianne Moore. He was the author of two other series of novels, Arena 13 and Aberrations. He lived in Lancashire, England, and most of the places in the Spook’s books are based on real places in Lancashire. The inspiration behind the stories often comes from local ghost stories and legends. The Spook’s Apprentice, The Spook’s Curse, and The Spook’s Secret have all been shortlisted for the Lancashire children’s Book for the Year Award. The Spook’s Apprentice won both the Sefton Book Award and the Hampshire Book Award.
