The Curse of Deadman's Forest by Victoria Laurie
Ian has a real dilemma. He can't go through the portal again or he might die, but he has to be able to find a healer to complete his quest...
Delacorte Press Books for Young Readers provided me with a copy of this book for review (thank you). I had read the first book in the Oracles of Delphi Keep earlier, and was sure I would enjoy this second book in the series.
The three young orphans (Ian, Theo, and Carl) are only half of the group needed to save their orphanage home and perhaps the world. But the evil around them is palpable - it seeps out of the pages into your senses. How are they to continue with their quest when Delphi Keep is under a powerful spell?
Ms. Laurie keeps the action continually moving in her books and young reader's are sure to enjoy that. Even reluctant readers will be drawn into the story and turn the pages eagerly. This is fantasy fiction at its best. Suggested ages for reading are 10 and up.
I enjoyed this book as much as the first and look forward to the next book in the series. Villains, sorcerers, an oracle, and magic - what a great read!
