The spell-binding sequel to The Queen in the Cave, longlisted for The Carnegie Medal for Illustration,
follows middle sister Carmela on a truly wild and wondrous soul-shaping adventure where she meets a mysterious witch...
MEET CARMELA...
Carmela's older sister, Franca, has stopped playing with her. Feeling left out and left behind by her big sister, Carmella walks until she can't walk anymore and then ... she walks a little further. Somehow, she ends up at a tower she's never noticed before and she knows right away that she's met a witch; a witch who has, in fact ... been waiting for her.
MEET THE WITCH...
The Witch welcomes Carmela into a magical world far beyond the limits of her imagination - a place filled with cauldrons, spells, potions, flying toads and frogs. Carmela visits libraries teeming with ancient books; rooms where worms and spiders weave intricate dresses; a spectacular dome of crystal prisms and, finally, at the very top of the tower - Carmela gets her very own broomstick.
She takes flight - her worries shrinking, her mind expanding and Carmela discovers a power within herself - to see beyond the hurt and pain of growing up, to find her own place in the world.
"The result is singular, not merely a modern classic but one for the ages. Utterly spellbinding." - Kirkus Reviews
"A wild rumpus of sorts and a love letter to the outcasts, 'the lonely, the lost, and the different ones' - and that is a beautiful, empowering thing." - Booklist (starred review)
Praise for The Queen in the Cave:
"supremely exciting [...] An unforgettable story that will leave readers with their eyes wide open." - Booklist (Starred review)
