Booklist - 08/08/2023 Smart (Witches Steeped in Gold, 2021) welcomes every kid who feels a touch monstrous to an underground world where monsters of all types live in an uneasy balance. Drawn to Below-London, Rayleigh Mann searches for his missing father, the infamous Bogey Mann. Yet even in the land of monsters, not all is well. With Below-London on the verge of falling apart and its monsters on a citywide treasure hunt, Rayleigh will need to rely on friends who are jumbies, ghosts, and witches to keep his new family safe. Full of crackling British humor and Caribbean folklore, Smart's story evokes the perfect Halloween: children snatched from their beds, ominous prophecies peddled by seers, and plenty of chocolate—a must-have for readers who love Tracey Baptiste and Lora Senf. What are you ghouls waiting for? Toss a token in your laundry hamper, hop inside the swirling vortex, and embrace the monster within. - Copyright 2023 Booklist.
