Tara--a powerful spellbinder and secret heir to the Empire of Omois--and her OtherWorld friends must save the universe from evil forces again, this time from a mind-control demon known as the Ravager. The overuse of superficial fantasy tropes weakens this potentially charming sequel to Tara Duncan and the Spellbinders.

Twelve-year-old Tara discovers that she is a powerful spellbinder and is whisked away to OtherWorld, a magical planet filled with dragons, demons, and evil sorcerers bent on world domination. This engaging (if occasionally awkward) French import is equal parts Harry Potter, Percy Jackson, and Disney fairy tale--in other words, an addicting read for lovers of middle grade fantasy-adventure stories.
