About this eBook

The mysteries grow deeper and the secrets darker in the second volume of the New York Times bestselling Books of Elsewhere series—perfect for fans of Small Spaces, Coraline, and James Howe's Bunnicula classics.

With no way into the McMartin house's magical paintings and its three guardian cats reluctant to help, Olive's friend Morton is still trapped inside Elsewhere. So when Rutherford, the new oddball kid next door mentions a grimoire—a spellbook—Olive sees a glint of hope. If she can find the McMartins' spellbook, maybe she can help Morton escape Elsewhere for good. Unless, that is, the book finds Olive first.

The house isn't the only one keeping secrets anymore. You'll never guess what happens next in this thrilling, chilling fantasy series, perfect for fans of Pseudonymous Bosch, Septimus Heap, and Lemony Snicket.

Ratings and reviews

Another amazing tale from the mind of Jacqueline West. In volume two of "The Books of Elsewhere" eleven-year-old Olive Dunwoody finds out just how much trouble a book can cause. It's truly reassuring to know that these books will keep getting better.

My favourite character is Leopold. He's charming and very distinguished. Plus, he's a black cat the size of a panther. How cool is that? I would love to have a familiar such as him.

I want to read every series of the books of elsewhere cause this is like so amazingly cool and I can't imagine my self reading another book that isn't fascinating like this one
