INTERMEDIATE FICTION
Meloy, Maile

The Apprentices

(3) 4-6 Illustrated by Ian Schoenherr. Janie, Benjamin, Pip, and Jin Lo reunite two years on in this genre-defying sequel to The Apothecary that spans the globe and knits together elements of ancient alchemical principles and modern nuclear chemistry. Meloy employs a light touch and a taste of verbal humor, and, while her story sometimes demands suspension of disbelief, strong characterizations and unexpected twists carry the reader along.
