A Revamp of "The Spook's Battle"
I've only given this 1 star as I've been caught out by a marketing ploy. This book is a revamp of "The Spooks Battle" the only difference is there are illustrations & explanations of a Witch Assassin, Sniffing etc at the back of the book, but otherwise it's the same story. Although I would have given the book 4 stars had I not already read it, as I love "The Spook's" series of books. This book see's Tom (the apprentice) visit Pendle which is riddled with witches, 3 of the clans are uniting to raise the highest form of evil. You also find out more about the spooks past & his love for a witch and discover some of the secrets of Tom's mothers room.

just the american version
this is not a re-vamped version, it is the american version of the series. with a little research, the buyer will be able to tell the difference between the uk and american additions. the uk versions are called 'the spook's apprentice,' are smaller in size, and only have a small gold-colored illustration of the spook on the dust jacket.
The american version is called 'the last apprentice,' is wider and larger in size, and has a more detailed illustration on the cover. it also includes a 'journal' of tom's findings and lessons in the back.
