Gr 4—6—In DarkIsle (Delacorte, 2008), readers met orphaned Morag, 10, who escaped her evil guardians, and her newfound friends—a dodo bird, a rat, and a dragon. She saved the enchanted world by recovering the Eye of Lornish and vanquishing the evil Devlish of DarkIsle, who had taken it. In this book, his daughter, Mephista, is intent on exacting revenge on Morag by kidnapping the good wizard Montgomery, and Morag and her friends must save him before his disappearance becomes permanent. Children who enjoyed the "Harry Potter" series and other stories involving magic will appreciate this series. Fast-paced and action-packed, this volume is best suited to readers who are familiar with the first book; they're sure to enjoy the ride.—Kathy Kirchoefer, Prince Georges County Memorial Library System, New Carrollton, MD
Safely settled in the magical city of Marnoch Mor after destroying the wicked warlock Devlish, young Morag and her animal friends must save the city once again--this time from the wizard's diabolically clever daughter Mephista. The characters, swept along by the brisk story line and easy resolutions, lack depth, but the vivid setting offers a diverting backdrop.
