While at boarding school, Edward is entrusted with the Other Book, a mysterious tome with terrifying powers and a will of its own. He must keep it from malicious Lady Anne, who seeks the book for evil. Despite a frustratingly slow pace that withholds key information for too long, this fantasy lures readers with chilling villains and a layered plot.
