Anyone who's read Kin Platt knows to expect a tight, sometimes humorous, always spine-tingling adventure with a bit of psychological daring-do thrown in for good measure. This time, Steve and Sinbad are out to solve the mystery of all mysteries. By all appearances, all of the "clues" seem to be in Steve's head when, before you know it, Minerva's dad meets the business end of a time bomb, Steve finds an old neighbor under the spell of Mandrake (a bracelet made of a mandragora root), Herk and Steve stumble onto the witch who wouldn't (for her own reasons), and a platinum blonde who looks older than she should, along with a legendary Hollywood vampire, do their best to ensure Steve and Sinbad are out of their hair forever.

Sign up for the waiting list, and spend your spare time cloud-busting while you wait for this outstanding book. You'll be glad you did!

If you liked/loved "Sinbad and Me" read this book! It offers a great mystery of Aurelia, a witch who has ethics. She comes up against Baalzaphon, and some very evil people; of course, Steve gets involved along with Sinbad, Minerva and the Sheriff.

This is the sequel to Kin Platt's excellent mystery "Sinbad and Me". All the great characters are back: adventurous teenager Steve, his heroic bulldog Sinbad, girlfriend Minerva, her suspicious dad the Sheriff, Herk, all investigating goings on involving witches, mandrake root, and a deadly bracelet. What a great book! If you are ten on up, you'll love it! If you are an old person, you will still love it!

I can't recommend this book enough. I am actually here to order it, and although I haven't read it in over 35 years, I remember it like it was yesterday. My only other comment for now is that I can't believe that this book was never made into a movie. When you read it you will understand. This is a story that both kids and adults will love. Please let me know what you think after reading this book.
