Product Description

As "Witch Child" ends so "Sorceress" begins. Alison Ellman is still searching for information about the wonderful 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 descendent 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. This is 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. Praise for "Sorceress" - 'A fine achievement, memorably describing times when teenagers had problems that make today's frustrations seem tame.' - Nicholas Tucker, "Independent".

An almost magical book to get you involved!
When I began this book, I was brought right into it straight away. My Godmother sends me a few books every Christmas and Birthday to me. She always buys me the best books. As anyone would, she bought me both, the Witch Child and the sorceress. These type of books are particularly to my interest and I can't stop reading them. I love the bit when Mary is sitting with someone, being shown a woven quilt that was of the lives of her family. This book is good for anyone who is not boring and loves interesting adventures.It is highly reccommended.

sorceress - success
as a follow on from Witch Child, Sorceress transforms wonderfully into the story of the young witch who becomes wife, mother and valued healer. Containing a very moving account of the brutality meted out by white men seeking to conquer more and more land in America, this book reaches far beyond the teenage market. An excellent read.

amazing
Do you know the feeling of disappointment when you read an excellent book, wait ages for the sequel and then when the sequel comes out, its not half as good as the original? I've had the feeling over many books, but not this one. Its as good as Witch Child, maybe better, because there's alot of new characters with their own stories to tell...
It's great how in this book, we see Mary as an adult, not a child, and because of her maturity, she's like a different character. I loved it so much, I read it all in one go, just as I did with Witch Child.
Excellent all the way through.
