About this ebook
_______________
'I will always put Celia and her books on the top rung of YA' - BookWitch
'Celia Rees is one of Britain's foremost writers for teenagers' - Playdays and Runaways
_______________
The outstanding sequel to critically acclaimed bestseller Witch Child
As Witch Child ends so Sorceress begins. Alison Ellman is still searching for information about Mary Newbury; she has a diary and some scattered information about other people in Mary's life, but Mary has disappeared into the forests and Alison has no way of following her.
But when she meets Agnes Herne, Alison encounters the person who is going to tell her all about Mary's life after she leaves Beulah. Agnes is a descendant of Mary's and has a special skill which allows her to be in touch with Mary in the spirit world. And Mary has a story to tell. A story of love and friendship, sadness and loss. A story that takes her across the New World in an epic search for a home.
We fell under the spell of Mary in Witch Child and now at last we find out what happened to her after her ill-fated time in Beulah. Just as Mary's story has to be told to Agnes, it has to be read by us for it is passionate, compelling and utterly wonderful.

Really got my fill of historical drama coupled with the paranormal mystery here and there. A great piece with a lot of real history interwined wirh the plot. A good read for anyone who likes historical fiction or strong female heroines.

A truly enjoyable read but as a sequel falls a bit flat
