Unable to resist the witches' enchantments, Sam has become their most potent weapon, and is leading an army of monstrous men against Skara Brae. Sam's only hope for salvation lies with his three best friends and a mystical artifact known as the Moon Pearl. Keely travels north in search of the pearl, while Howie prepares for the gathering onslaught. Leo seeks a powerful artifact in the underworld, and faces an ancient evil that could be an even greater threat than Catriona and her cronies. As Sam's friends rush to save him, other forces are at work in Orkney's shadows--forces that could help free Sam, or condemn him to the darkness forever.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Alane Adams\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1940716845\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781940716848\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Sparkpress\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/06\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 384\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.15lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 6.00w x 1.10d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAccelerated Reader:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReading Level:\u003c\/b\u003e 5.1\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePoint Value:\u003c\/b\u003e 16\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eInterest Level:\u003c\/b\u003e Middle Grade Plus\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eQuiz #\/Name: \u003c\/b\u003e500517 \/ Kalifus Rising\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Benjamin Franklin Award - Gold Medal Winner\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Benjamin Franklin Award - Gold Medal Winner\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eSchool Library Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/01\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eVoice of Youth Advocates\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/01\/2016 pg. 72 - Recommended - Better Than Most\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eForeword\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/13\/2016","brand":"Alane Adams","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43996463005951,"sku":"9781940716848","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_dec24518-4e07-4a8e-8bd2-6666554868d7.jpg?v=1683341840","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/kalifus-rising-alane-adams-9781940716848","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
