Thomas Ward is a good apprentice, learning his trade as a spook from his master. His training is going well and things are progressing nicely. Of course that would make a boring story so something has to happen.
In Priestown, the seat of religion, things are becoming darker and darker. An evil force that is ancient and powerful is starting to awaken and influence people's thoughts, mostly in a negative manner.
Tom and his master, along with a young witch must avoid the authorities, escape recapture, and defeat the evil, all in just a few days.
This sequel moves faster than the original and has good character development. Tom and his master must deal with preconceived notions of people and hope for redemption in order to defeat the evil that lies just below the surface.

Revenge of the Witch by Joseph Delaney
The seventh son of a seventh son has special powers and those powers are best channeled for good as opposed to being manipulated for evil. Tom is one of those sons and he is apprenticed to a spook, a man that can imprison witches, send ghost to their rest and a host of other creatures that are best left unmentioned.
As with all apprentices Tom does not always heed his master's advice, sometimes for good reason but usually with dire consequences.
A book that will make you fuss at the characters and roll your eyes with exasperation as you keep the pages turning to the conclusion. Should be a favorite with the middle school fantasy readers.
