Someone, it seems, is determined to destroy David Eliot's
school. A year ago, when he first arrived, David would have
been more than happy to see the end of Groosham Grange and
its ghoulish teachers. He even tried to escape a couple of
times, but now he has settled in and is thoroughly at home
there. But now his world looks set to be turned upside down
by person, or persons, unknown...
The
Unholy Grail is the second, and final, release in the
Groosham Grange series by Anthony Horowitz. As with
the first tale, Groosham
Grange, this audio book is read by Nickolas
Grace.
David
Eliot has well and truly settled in at Groosham Grange - he's
even on course to win the Unholy Grail, a golden cup of magical
power presented to the star pupil each year. However, when
a new boy, Vince King, arrives, David's title as best pupil
looks to be under threat.
Vince
is a natural at all subjects, or so it appears, and it's not
long before he's in with a serious shout of winning the Unholy
Grail - much to David's concern. But is this all down to Vince's
academic ability? Or is something much more sinister going
on. A
series of very suspicious mishaps sees the the gap between
David and Vince shrinking rapidly.
Could Vince be cheating? David has seen him slipping away
from the school at night - where can he be going? Who is trying
to stop David winning and worse, threaten Groosham Grange
itself? Can David keep his lead over Vince, and work out who,
or what, is trying to close Groosham Grange, before Halloween
(the date when the Unholy Grail is presented to the school's
most academically gifted pupil)?
The
second spellbinding book in the Groosham Grange series,
set in a school where no lesson is ever normal and the teachers
include vampires, werewolves and a two-headed headmaster.
As with the previous audio release, Grace's reading is perfect
for this tale. He puts in just the right amount of enthusiasm
and wonderfully brings each character to life.
