Summary
Young Tom, the seventh son of a seventh son, starts work as an apprentice for the village spook, whose job is to protect ordinary folk from 'ghouls, boggarts, and all manner of wicked beasties.'
Amazon.com description: Product Description: Thomas Ward tiene trece años, es el séptimo hijo de un séptimo hijo y vive feliz en una granja junto a sus padres, su hermano y su cuñada embarazada. Todo cambia cuando, una tarde, viene a buscarlo un Espectro para llevárselo como aprendiz. Junto a él deberá enfrentarse a criaturas malignas: brujas, boggarts, espÃritus y aparecidos. Thomas no quiere marcharse pero su madre, que tiene poderes ocultos, insiste en que ésa es su obligación y su misión en el mundo. Asà pues, no tiene más remedio que obedecer. Durante su aprendizaje, Thomas descubre los secretos del espectro, se somete a pruebas terrorÃficas (como pasar una noche solo en una casa encantada) y recibe valiosos consejos (nunca te fÃes de las niñas con zapatos de punta). Todo marcha bien hasta que Alice, una chica del pueblo, se cruza en su camino. Es la sobrina de la bruja Lizzie la Huesuda y engatusa a Thomas para que libere de su prisión a Madre Malkin, una malvada hechicera. Desde ese instante, las cosas se ponen muy dÃficiles para el joven e incluso para su familia. El aprendiz del Espectro te llevará de la sonrisa al escalofrÃo sin que puedas dejar de leer. Sólo una recomendación: procura no hacerlo después del atardecer... El aprendiz del Espectro es la primera entrega de las crónicas protagonizadas por Thomas Ward.
