Publisher Description

The mysteries grow deeper and the secrets darker in the second volume of the New York Times bestselling Books of Elsewhere series. With no way into the McMartin house's magical paintings and its three guardian cats reluctant to help, Olive's friend Morton is still trapped inside Elsewhere. So when Rutherford, the new oddball kid next door mentions a grimoire—a spellbook—Olive sees a glint of hope. If she can find the McMartins' spellbook, maybe she can help Morton escape Elsewhere for good. Unless, that is, the book finds Olive first. The house isn't the only one keeping secrets anymore. You'll never guess what happens next in this thrilling, chilling fantasy series, perfect for fans of Pseudonymous Bosch, Coraline, and Septimus Heap.

"An accomplished sequel to The Shadows. Compelling writing moves the story forward, as Olive, goaded on by new next-door neighbor Rutherford, searches for the Grimoire, or book of spells, that had belonged to the McMartin witches. The occasional black and white illustrations enhance the story."

    " This book had me under the covers reading. Full of suspense, worry, mysterry, and adventure. LOVED it, but i was so sad when the book ended. "

    " While not quite as excellent as the first in the series of Elsewhere books, this was still most fantastic. There is more jumping in to paintings, and other fun magic. New characters to love. And the old talking cats, of course. More of this, please. "

    " Olive learns who real friends are and how to be a better friend. She also learns that not all magic is dark. The cats begin to get more of a personality as well. "

    " This is such a good "magical" series with a strong female protagonist! Lots of humor mixed in along with paintings that you can step into, talking cats, and some very ornery evils! "

    " This is a wonderfully creepy second in the series of Elsewhere. Olive is a spunky female character. She is trying to save Morton from inside a painting where he's been spellbound by a wizard. She also meets a new neighbor boy, Rutherford, who turns out to be very helpful. "
