In his second year at Groosham Grange, a school for dark magicians, David Eliot has gotten used to the unusual teachers and classes. He's determined to win the Unholy Grail, the top student prize, but first he has to rescue the school itself from destruction. Horowitz's blend of horror, humor, and exaggerated characters makes for an exciting and involving read.
