The sequel to Clover Twig and the Magical Cottage finds
Clover once again caring for a witch named Mrs. Eckles. Not far into the
story however, Clover must bravely voyage down the Perilous Path to save her
little brother and foil the plans of the wicked Mesmeranza.
Without
having read the first installment, the reader could enjoy the adventures of
this clever heroine. There are several subplots to keep track of, which
at times slows the pace of the main action. The resolution was
unexpected, although somewhat anticlimactic. Overall, a clever, quirky
story with a delightful sense of humor.
