The Doomspell

(4) 4-6 Illustrated by Geoff Taylor. Snatched from their cellar by the witch Dragwena and her minion Morpeth, Rachel and her brother Eric learn of their special powers to resist evil in the land of Ithrea. Spells, fantasy creatures, and many other types of magic abound in a detailed landscape. Though the story is derivative, the narrative is tight and fantasy fans will enjoy reading about Rachel heroically fighting Dragwena.
