    The Rubicus Prophecy Witches of Orkney Book TwoThe Rubicus Prophecy: Witches of Orkney: Book Two

    Written by Alane Adams

    Illustrated by Jonathan Stroh

    Publisher’s Synopsis: Abigail has just started her second year at the Tarkana Witch Academy and is already up to her ears studying for Horrid Hexes and Awful Alchemy! Worse, Endera’s malevolent spellbook has its hooks in her, whispering in her ear to use its dark magic. Meanwhile, the entire school is talking about the Rubicus Prophecy; a sign has arrived that the chosen witchling is among them, the one who will one day break Odin’s curse over them. When an Orkadian warship arrives carrying troubling news, Abigail and her friend Hugo are swept into a new mystery after a young boy from the ship, Robert Barconian, asks for their help retrieving a missing item.

    “The Rubicus Prophecy: Witches of Orkney: Book Two is a fast read that will likely appeal to fans of Harry Potter or the Septimus Heap series.” — The Children’s Book Review

        I am a big fan of Harry Potter since it came out up until this very day. This reminds me so much of Harry Potter I know it would make me happy to read this.

      I would love this for my daughter. She is apart of a small book club and she would love to introduce the books to her group.

      I won the Harry Potter series years ago and loved the world it took me to. I would love to visit another magical world.

      All year long I am looking for great books to give to my nieces and nephews for Christmas. This series looks like something they would love–and that their parents would love to read with them, which is a real bonus.

      I have a very bright 9 year old grandson who loves wizards and dragons and magic, unfortunately, usually in the form of video games. I get very excited when I think I’ve found a book he’ll enjoy. I’m pretty sure this one’s a winner! Whoever did the cover art did a great job.
