But when Em, her brother, and Miskit and the rest of the robotic crew aboard the walking house reach the city, they quickly realize that seeking help is looking for trouble, dangerous trouble.The Elf King's son, Trellis, is still after them, but this time he's accompanied by a mysterious and dangerous guard, Luger. Then an equally mysterious fox, Leon Redbeard, steps in to help. This new fox friend offers to take Em on the perilous trip up Demon's Head Mountain to find the antidote she needs. Miskit is suspicious, Navin is worried about being left behind, and Emily is in the toughest spot of all. She's got to let loose the power of the amulet—without losing herself!

"The art continues to be phenomenal, and the writing stepped up a notch, too. This short story demonstrates a little more plot development than its predecessor, and it introduces solid themes and more complex tensions and dilemmas. <br/><br/>The two strike me as a great place for young audiences to cut their teeth on the graphic novel. And I'm interested to see what happens in book three!<br/><br/>Rated G."

"I can’t say too much because it is a sequel. The series is PG. A younger kid can pick it up if they wanted to. It is almost exactly how you would expect a hero journey in a middle grade book to go. <br/><br/>Though it it can be predictable. The story is still fun. <br/>-Emily learns how to use the magic<br/>-everyone is decent characters with there own personality<br/>-trolls are decent villains<br/>- there is a threat of if Emily uses too much power from the stone she looses control"

"Now that we're getting more into the story, I found this book more enjoyable than the first. It explained things a bit more. moved the story forward but also resolving some things. Similar to the first very quick read and action-packed."
