A sequel to The Wizard of Dark Street, Thirteen-year-old Oona Crate’s detective

Tower Contest. And before she knows it
there are several mysteries to solve.
Who stole the plans to the contest?
Where are Madame Iree’s missing dresses?
And the most important who stole Madame Romania’s (from Romania)
punchbowl oracle that tells each person one true answer. Oona wants to ask the punchbowl oracle about
the deaths in her family. She is
determined to solve all the mysteries and to win the contest. She will have to beat the unpleasant Isadora,
her chivalrous BOYFRIEND Roderick, and handsome Deacon. Isadora challenges Oona (a natural magician)
to not use magic in the contest. The answers
will change Dark Street as Oona knows it.
Suspense, adventure, and a hint of romance
make this sequel a good choice. Purchase if the first book is popular at your
library.
