Lily and Georgie voyage far from home in search of a powerful magician named Rose. They hope she will be able to strengthen their magic to free their father from a hidden jail protected by dark spells. Book #3
Quick Summary
If your kid loved the first two books in this series, they'll be thrilled to see Lily and Georgie back in action this time traveling far from home to track down a powerful magician who might be their only hope of rescuing their dad from a hidden jail protected by some seriously tricky dark magic. The adventure gets pretty intense in spots, what with the dark spells and dangerous obstacles, but the story balances that with humor and genuine heart so it never becomes too scary for younger middle graders. Kids who enjoy fantasy adventures with sibling teamwork and a "save the family" mission will find a lot to love here, especially if they liked books like "The Wizard of Oz" or the earlier Magic Tree House adventures. There's also a nice emotional thread about perseverance and family bonds that gives the action real weight. Parents will appreciate that it's a standalone adventure that ties up its own story while keeping things interesting for those who want to continue the series.
