BUYING ADVISORY: EL, MS - ADVISABLE
AUDIENCE APPEAL: AVERAGE
12yo Evie promised her aunt she wouldn’t go through any more magical doors without backup. And as soon as she promises, the same day she has to break that promise. Though, to be fair, she was mesmerized and tricked. Now on the Dark Sun Side again, Evie hopes that she can solve the mystery of Blight’s missing ghosts - and maybe find a clue to what happened to her parents. The Nighthouse Keeper is out to bend Evie to her will, but perhaps with the help of Lark, a ghost, she will be able to find some answers.
I had a harder time loving this one as much as the first. Evie’s mistakes were much more obvious this time and her ending was more deus ex machina. The Nighthouse Keeper is nowhere near as scary as The Clackity, but I am sure Clackity will be back in force in book #3. Oh yes - Evie has very good reasons for another trip to the Dark Sun Side.
