Series: The Apothecary Novels

ABBEY'S BOOKSELLER PICK ----- I absolutely adored the first book from this author (The Apothecary) and this sequel continues the adventures of Janie and Benjamin. Janie has lost some of her memories of their previous escapades, but they slowly come back to her. She's back in America, at boarding school. Benjamin and his father have taken the precious Pharmacopoeia with them to Vietnam where they are hunting a rare plant, but inbetween hunting for a rare medicinal plant, Benjamin has been experimenting with an elixir which allows him to connect with Janie - and he realises she is in dreadful danger. Fast paced, but with the elements of thoughtfulness which marked the first book, this is an imaginative and enjoyable novel. Ages 13+ Lindy

-----

The enthralling sequel to The Apothecary, Maile Meloy's first book for young readers. Illustrated by Ian Schoenherr Two years have passed since Janie Scott last saw Benjamin Burrows, the mysterious apothecary's son who stole her heart. She's thrown herself into an ambitious chemistry project and, when it vanishes, she suspects the rich and powerful Magnusson of stealing it. And she knows she needs help to fight him. On the other side of the world, Benjamin and the apothecary have been working in the war-torn jungles of Vietnam, using their elixirs to help the sick and wounded. But Benjamin has also been experimenting with a new formula that allows him to see into Janie's world. The friends are thrown into a whirlwind chase around the Pacific Ocean, trying to find each other and the truth behind what threatens them. The Apprentices is a magical blend of fantasy and reality that sparkles with life and adventure-a delightful sequel to the much-loved The Apothecary.

Reviews for The Apprentices

'Maile Meloy breaks new ground with The Apothecary, which can only be described as a magical historical, adventure, fantasy, science-fiction novel.' Weekend Press on The Apothecary 'Enchants from the beginning.' Canberra Times on The Apothecary 'This cleverly plotted le Carre for kids adventure is driven by a memorable, quick-witted protagonist.' Saturday Age 'Maile Meloy writes with sensitivity from the mind and heart of a 14-year-old girl. Janie's voice is dry, smart, funny, practical, and good company.' LA Times on The Apothecary
