About this ebook
Mysteries deepen, secrets darken, and the stakes grow scarier in this second title in the New York Times bestselling Books of Elsewhere series—for fans of Small Spaces, Nightbooks, and Wednesday
This house is keeping secrets . . .
Olive thinks she's controlling the house—but is the house controlling her?
Olive Dunwoody is getting desperate. Her friend Morton is still trapped inside Elsewhere, in the old McMartin house's enchanted paintings, and she has no way to reach him. So when Rutherford, the oddball kid next door mentions a spellbook, Olive sees a glint of hope. If she can find the McMartins’ book of spells, 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 now, and Olive has no idea how much danger she's in.
Welcome to Elsewhere . . .
First, a pair of enchanted spectacles. Next, a deadly book. Then, magical paints from which a world called Elsewhere spills like a dream turned nightmare. And lastly, strangers, come to take it all for themselves—if even darker forces don’t prevail. At the center: the flawed and tenacious Olive, three talking cats, two remarkable friends, and a hard-won trust that binds them all. This is the scary, must-read series widely praised and adored by kids, adults, and critics alike.

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.

About the author
Jacqueline West is obsessed with stories where magic intersects with everyday life—from talking cats, to enchanted eyewear, to paintings as portals to other worlds. What paintings might she sneak into if she got her hands on Olive’s glasses? “I would probably have to go with Salvador Dalí’s paintings,” she says, “because they would be such amazing worlds to explore. I imagine everything would feel rubbery and slick, sort of like Silly Putty or fried eggs.” An award-winning poet, Jacqueline lives with her husband in Red Wing, Minnesota, where she dreams of talking cats, Silly Putty, and many more adventures for Olive and Morton.
