The action-packed sequel to The Lost Legacy, which Booklist called
"Monstrous fun!"
Living in a hotel full of monsters isn't always easy, especially when
all the adults have fallen under an evil spell! Stephen and his friends
have three days to undo a sorcerer's magic before the spell becomes
permanent and their parents are cursed forever. Hotel Transylvania
meets Escape from Mr. Lemoncello's Library.
It's only been a few weeks since Stephen started living in the New
Harmonia--a hotel that caters to a supernormal clientele, including
bigfeet, vampires, dragons, and talking gargoyles--and he still has a
lot to learn. His latest discovery? The lions at the New York Public
Library are actually sphinxes, guarding a secret underground collection
of magical artifacts.
But just as Stephen makes this discovery, a mysterious warlock named
Edmund the Enchanter turns the sphinxes to stone and steals a powerful
wand from the library's collection. With the wand, Edmund could take
control of the entire supernormal world. Stephen and his two best
friends, Sofia and Ivan, have only three days to thwart Edmund's evil
intentions.
The Sphinx's Secret is an adventure-filled monstrous romp with a
time-travel twist. This inventive and accessible mystery-adventure is
full of friendship, humor, and a curious cast of characters perfect for
fans of Pseudonymous Bosch and R. L. Stine's Goosebumps series.
Features black-and-white art by Glenn Thomas throughout.
