What happened 500 years ago was never supposed to resurface. Exploring his Grandma’s scary manor, Archibald stumbles upon a dark family secret, linked to a time of great fears and superstitions. Key to that mystery: an ancient terrestrial globe, populated by the most fantastic creatures. When he unlocks the storm inside by accident, the risk-averse boy gets whisked into the underworld of Lemurea, where a battle started in the Middle Ages has yet to be settled. Down here, it’s light versus darkness, magic versus fire, witches versus dragons. But not any kind of witches —an army of young girls, with the most magical weapons. And not any kind of dragons —Marodors, enigmatic monsters, part beast, part human, which will make you rethink everything you thought you knew about dragons. While Archibald is thrust into an amazing adventure that will test his survival skills, on the flip side of the Earth, his sister Hailee faces her own challenges. Seeking to solve Archibald’s disappearance, she uncovers the grim plans of a dark priest. Two breathtaking stories, running parallel with one another, but tightly intertwined. Two worlds, on a dangerous collision course... --- The first installment in a phenomenal series, The Lost Witches reads like an addicting thriller —and sets the stage for more adventures to come for Archibald Finch.Mention Books Supposing Archibald Finch and the Lost Witches (Archibald Finch #1)

Whilst on the hunt for his Christmas present, which his mother tells him she hasnt bought, he discovers a box hidden on a shelf in the library and mistakes it for his gift.Inside is an old globe with countries on he doesnt recognise. He has a feeling that the globe opens somehow and fiddles with it to try to seeMankind has repeated the same mistakes, over and over, for centuries now, never learning from them. I have come to believe that people dont want to change their ways. Therefore, they dont deserve to be saved. Archibald Finch and the Lost Witches is a story that I'd rather prefer to read or to listen to when I was a kid. However, I took my pleasure to get acquainted with it now as an adult. It felt like a perfect bedtime tale, not the kind of a scary one despite the monstrous developments, but a
Im not a fan of middle grade that much anymore, or I usually I Am not in the mood for them. But first of all, this book is very beautifully made. The hardcover is good quality, the dust jacket very smooth. The illustrations inside the book are MAGICAL. It brings so many childhood memories. You can feel the mysterious and beautiful atmosphere of it. The story itself is very cute, I think very suitable for 12-13 years old readers. But even for adults that seek nostalgia of childhood. Plus the book
This book is just made for the nostalgic, the daydreamers, and the adventurers. There's lots of unique, magical elements going around in the book, while still keeping the family dynamic true to the story. It's amazing to see that family plays a huge part in this book. Most Fantasy novels don't really explore family elements in general , so it's always nice to read about it whenever I get the chance to come across it in a book. The characters are so loveable and charismatic, and the story just
Gripping. Inspiring. Magical. I don't have words strong enough to describe this story and how I feel about it. I fell in love with the young (lost) witches, wondering what they had to go through until this point, and how in hell they ended up in that dark underworld... I was hooked right away, which is rare for me with the first book in a fantasy series. I'm almost tempted to ask for a prequel before the sequel comes out, just because I'd love to know more about the origins of the witch-hunt and
A newcomer that feels like a classic. There's something about this fantasy tale that reminds me of one of those magical books I read as a kid, that just made me want to read more, and more, and more. You discover the fantastic world of Lemurea through the eyes of Archibald and soon enough, the magic happens, you feel the way he feels, you fear the way he fears, and you doubt the way he doubts. Of course it also has to do with the extraordinary universe he is thrust into, a world that echoes the
This could have been the story of a fairly regular, wimpy, lonely boy who loses his weird grandma, moves into her manor with his parents and discovers an antique globe that will seal his fate, transporting him into some mysterious land haunted by some weird breed of monsters. It could have been that. But it wouldn't have been that original or interesting. So thank God it's not that. Not just that I should say.Where Archibald goes and whom he meets down there, that's what's original, that's
