(4) 4-6 To defeat the hell-hound, Shriker, magician wannabe Miles shape-shifts into the monster's form. But after Miles is wooed by the darkness, it's up to his sister, Hanna, to save him. Drawing on British Isles lore, Carey fills her fantasy world with run-of-the-mill ingredients (e.g., spells, sprites, trolls, clear-cut good vs. evil), but her knack for description will hook fantasy fans.
