The Necromancer Chronicles 2 - The Necromancer's Return

In an actual circus, twelve-year-old Noah is the oddball. While the rest of the Florian family paints, tumbles, and carves their mark into every performance of Waldo’s Wandering Wonders, Noah struggles to be seen—especially with his Unfortunate Habit of accidental invisibility. When a new puppet master arrives, taking over the circus with his eerily lifelike marionettes, Noah and his family are quickly entangled in the magician’s villainous schemes. After a harrowing escape, Noah and his teen sister, Tamsyn, are desperate to find help. Yet the reclusive wizard known as ‘the Necromancer,' along with his haunted companion are far from the heroes they had in mind. Together, this strange traveling troupe must face grave robbers, reanimated skeletons and travel to a long-lost mining town whose buried secrets rumble underground. The strings of fate are tightening fast, but which of our wizards will find the courage to face their fears before they are torn apart? Fans of Diana Wynne Jones and T. Kingfisher will delight in this sequel to The Necromancer’s Apprentice. The Necromancer’s Return promises familiar faces, new friends and foes, and the courageous strength of wonder.
