Gr 3-7–Joey, Shazad, and Leanora are now the new Order of the Majestic. It’s up to them to make sure magic is protected and available for all. But now they are more vulnerable than ever; the Majestic Theatre, the Order’s home base, is visible and easily attacked, and the Invisible Hand wants in. The Invisible Hand is against everything the Order stands for. They want to hoard magic for themselves and forbid anyone else from having power or using the magical objects the Order keeps safe. If that isn’t enough to keep the trio busy and on edge, now they must search for a lost kingdom, and hopefully find the key that will bring a new age of magic to the world. But if the Invisible Hand has their way, all the magic will be theirs, and the world will suffer for it. This sequel picks up right where the first book left off; while it is entertaining and fast paced, readers unfamiliar with the previous installment will be lost and are unlikely to continue reading for the full 400+ pages.
VERDICT Recommended for libraries where the first book is popular.
