4-6Last Apprentice series.
Illustrated by
Patrick Arrasmith.
Last Apprentice fans will be gratified by this volume, which includes the backstories of John Gregory (the Spook), witch Alice, and witch assassin Grimalkin (those new to the series will be mystified). Like the other entries, this book is clearly written, in an old-fashioned and deliciously gloomy way, and evocatively illustrated with Arrasmith's dark pictures.
