Funaro’s first book “Watch Hollow” was a book that had my students
lining up to read it. It was full of everything a middle school student loves in
a book. It had characters they could identify with and a mystery to be solved.
When I told them that I had an advance reader’s copy of the next book "Watch Hollow: The Alchemist's Shadow" they
wanted to know if I would be buying it. I will most definitely be buying
it. This is a creepy mystery that
kept the action going.
The
Tinker family managed to keep away the great evil and set the house right. We
all know that it would be boring if things didn’t go south again. This happens
when Agatha and Algeron, along with their governess show up claiming they are
the heirs to the house. Of course, you
need to expect whenever something or someone strange shows up, there is going
to be something that will create chaos in Blackford House once again. A new
evil has created a labyrinth along with a minotaur.
The
children must work together to solve this mystery, get the governess back and
take care of the evil. This is a daunting task, but they will receive help
from the wooden animals of the clock. I am really loving this author’s work. I
am probably the biggest lover of mysteries and this one has all the elements
that I love. I am hoping there is a
third book on its way. This is a must-read series.
