A  New York Times  Bestseller! This magical adventure from the #1 digital comic platform WEBTOON continues as Dani and Dorian answer the question they’ve been avoiding: could one of them be the king of witches? A classic good-vs-evil struggle plays out on an epic stage in the second volume of this bestselling comic. Dani and Dorian Wytte have been through everything together—including joining forces with trouble maker Nico, Princess Monica, and golden boy Mark to sneak into the witch's sabbath, spring hostages from prison, and defend the castle when it was attacked by witches. With witches like their parents out for power and blood and non-magical people increasingly threatened by them, Dani and Dorian don't know whose side they're on . . .or if anyone's on their side. That includes their brother, Damien, who disappeared after being crowned King of Witches. But since Monica's father, the king, and her fiancé, Prince William disappeared, too, Dani and Dorian know they must set out to find their lost allies. Luckily, they aren't alone. Based on the beloved webcomic from WEBTOON, Hooky Volume 2  picks up right where the action left off and is in stunning print format for the first time with exclusive new content sure to please fans new and old. Gr 4-8-Picking up right at Chapter 33, this direct sequel has twins Dani and Dorian and their friends embroiled in a feud between humans and witches. When Master Pendragon's house burns down, the young teens lie low until a crystal ball shows where Prince William is hidden, and thus their new, dangerous quest begins. A mix of back story, adventure, and building tension culminates in a pivotal cliffhanger. The complex story arc spans multiple characters, flashbacks, and imagined sequences-all rendered in a pitch-perfect palette. Blushing and will-they-won't-they crushing add light and sweet romantic elements, including an adorable kiss between two boys. Bonus chapters further add to the squee value. The main characters' skin tones range from pale to beige to brown. VERDICT This page-turning print continuation of the blockbuster webcomic will fly off the shelves. Buy extra copies of both books, as readers will need to read them in order.α(c) Copyright 2011. Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc.
