Ready for a challenge? How about crossing the boundary between your country, Ancelstierre, a place similar to England in the 1900's, and the magical and deadly Old Kingdom and living to tell the tale? Oh, yeah, they've got your undead, your living dead, your Necromancers, and, of course, no one across the border in Ancelstierre is any the wiser.
Sabriel and Mogget, a cat with a mystery, cross into the Old Kingdom to try to find her father, the Abhorsen, the sorcerer with the difficult job of keeping the undead dead and confined instead of running amok for the necromancers and doing evil.
The remainder of the series traces the Abhorsen line and their work to keep things contained in the Old Kingdom so no magic bleeds out into Ancelstierre.
Across the Wall is a collection of short stories about the Old Kingdom.
For grade 7 and up.
