Descripción provista por la editorial :

Now its the darks turn to be afraid The Spook and his apprentice, Thomas Ward, deal with the dark. Together they rid the county of witches, ghosts, and boggarts. But now theres some unfinished business to attend to in Priestown. Deep in the catbs of the cathedral lurks a creature the Spook has never been able to defeat; a force so evil that the whole county is in danger of being corrupted by its powers. The Bane!As Thomas and the Spook prepare for the battle of their lives, it bes clear that the Bane isnt their only enemy. The Quisitor has arrived, searching for those who meddle with the dark so he can imprison them-or worse.Can Thomas defeat the Bane on his own? Is his friend Alice guilty of witchcraft? And will the Spook be able to escape the Quisitors clutches? From School Library Journal Grade 5-7-In this second book in the series, Delaney chronicles the spine-tingling adventures of Thomas Ward, seventh son of a seventh son, and the last remaining apprentice of monster hunter Mr. Gregory, aka the Spook. The most dangerous monster of all, the Bane, has been imprisoned in the catbs under Priestown. He kills by squashing his victimspletely flat, and he appears to be succeeding at controlling the minds and actions of some of the towns inhabitants. He needs to be dealt with once and for all. Priestown holds its own dangers for Thomas and the Spook, however, as their work makes them subject to being declared witches and executed by the Quisitor. In the scary and dangerous events that follow, Thomas, apanied by his friend Alice, faces the most difficult choices of his life so far, and learns to trust himself rather than simply follow his masters instructions. His first-person narration gives this truly spooky story an immediacy and a sense of reality that heightens the tension and impending danger. While part of a series, the story stands successfully on its own. Occasional eerily atmospheric woodcuts enhance the storys mood.-Sue Giffard, Ethical Culture Fieldston School, New York CityCopyright © Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved. From Booklist Gr. 6-9. When readers met Tom Ward inThe Revenge of the Witch (2005), the first entry in the Last Apprentice series, he was a callow lad, apprehensively apprenticed to the Spook, who routs the Dark from the County. The malevolent forces that came into play last time seem almost mundanepared to the challenges Tom and the Spook face now: a violent, deadly bane growing in strength and power to be the embodiment of evil. Despite the blood and gore, this tale is more than a well-crafted horror story. Delaney infuses his characters with depth and emotion, but equally important, he grows his world by contributing significantly to the back story. Readers learn the reason the Spook has strong feelings about women in general and witches in particular, and Tom discovers something unexpected about his mother and her wisdom. Delaney also does an exceptional job of interweaving stories, with one plot point leading insistently to the next; at ths conclusion, readers can go over all Tom has learned by leafing through his journal. Kids will breathlessly await Toms next adventure.Ilene CooperCopyright © American Library Association.
