4-6Last Apprentice series.
Illustrated by
Patrick Arrasmith.
In his eighth adventure, Spook's apprentice Tom Ward faces the fury of Scarabek, sister of the witch he helped kill in the last installment. For readers who aren't afraid of a jibber, a Fiend, or a five-dollar word, the series continues to deliver. Arrasmith's stark images against pitch-black backgrounds make it even clearer that this is a dark world.
