Publisher's Summary

Two years have passed since Janie Scott last saw Benjamin Burrows, the mysterious apothecary's defiant son who stole her heart. On the other side of the world, Benjamin and his father are treating the sick and wounded in the war-torn jungles of Vietnam.

But Benjamin has also been experimenting with a magical new formula that allows him to communicate with Janie across the globe. When Benjamin discovers that she's in trouble, he calls on their friend Pip for help. The three friends are thrown into a desperate chase around the world to find one another, while unraveling the mystery of what threatens them all.

Acclaimed author Maile Meloy seamlessly weaves together magic and adventure in this breathtaking sequel to The Apothecary.

Critic Reviews

"[F]eatures the same fun, fast-moving formula as the first book, with charming characters and exciting intrigue mixed with a handful of magic....” (Publishers Weekly, starred review)

“This...well-constructed adventure accurately conveys the geopolitical instability of the era and is leavened with just enough magic, chaste romance and humor to appeal to middle-grade readers through teens." (Kirkus Reviews

“Meloy boldly weaves the disparate strings of the story together in inventive - sometimes breathtaking - ways. More nuanced than the first book, this brings together a large and intriguing cast and explores their knotty relationships...the characters become more memorable as the pages fly by." (Booklist
