The second book about a young girl in a world of magic

This is the second story in a series about a young witch named Beatrice who is given a challenge to try and rescue some of her extended family from an evil curse. The curse can be broken in five steps. In the first book Beatrice, with help from three close friends, is able to break the first part of the curse. In "The Witches of Friar's Lantern" Beatrice and her friends return to the magical world to try to break the next part of the curse. We continue to learn more of the rich world created by the author, Sandra Forrester. As the four friends travel to the town of Friar's Lantern, and then stay in Friar's Lantern, we get to see more about how everyday witches use magic. Beatrice is excited to meet her aunts who live in Friar's Lantern, and she learns a bit about her own mother. If you enjoyed the first book, then you'll enjoy this book. It is fun, a good page turner, and provides a satisfactory conclusion. You know how things are going to turn out, but the ride along the way is pleasant and entertaining.
