""The result is singular, not merely a modern classic but one for the ages... Utterly spellbinding."" - Kirkus Reviews Celebrate Halloween and the spooky season with the sequel to The Queen in the Cave from Gothic picture book queen, JÃºlia SardÃ . A PERFECT Halloween read, the second title in The Three Sisters trilogy follows middle sister Carmela on a truly wild and wondrous soul-shaping adventure where she meets a mysterious witch and discovers the magic and power within herselfâ€¦ Meet Carmela... Carmela's older sister, Franca, has stopped playing with her. Feeling left out and left behind by her big sister, Carmella walks until she can't walk anymore and then â€¦ she walks a little further. Somehow, she ends up at a tower sheâ€™s never noticed before and she knows right away that she's met a witch; a witch who has, in fact â€¦ been waiting for her. Meet The Witch... The Witch welcomes Carmela into a magical world far beyond the limits of her imagination - a place filled with cauldrons, spells, potions, flying toads and frogs. Carmela visits libraries teeming with ancient books; rooms where worms and spiders weave intricate dresses; a spectacular dome of crystal prisms and, finally, at the very top of the tower - Carmela gets her very own broomstick. She takes flight â€“ her worries shrinking, her mind expanding and Carmela discovers a power within herself â€“ to see beyond the hurt and pain of growing up, to find her own place in the world. A wild rumpus of sorts and a love letter to the outcasts, â€œthe lonely, the lost, and the different onesâ€â€”and that is a beautiful, empowering thing. "" - Booklist (starred review) Praise for The Queen in the Cave: - ""supremely exciting [...] An unforgettable story that will leave readers with their eyes wide open."" - Booklist (starred review) - LONGLISTED for The Carnegie medal for illustration.
