The Weeping Tide by Amanda Foody - AVISABLE

The Weeping Tide by Amanda Foody
, 331 pages. McElderry (Simon), 2021. $18. 

Content: G (fantasy danger) 

BUYING ADVISORY: EL, MS - ADVISABLE 

AUDIENCE APPEAL: AVERAGE 

Barclay’s new teacher, Runa Rasgar, has been called to investigate the deadly algae bloom that is threatening the Sea and the Elsewheres. Together with the other apprentices they are headed to Island of Mumsey to figure why the Lochmorda, which usually only appears twice a year, is attacking now. Unfortunately, Cyril, Runa’s rival, and his apprentices are also on the case. Can the groups stop fighting each other long enough to save everyone and everything? 

Great for large fantasy collections. Fun magical tech galore, and Barclay is a sympathetic main character as he struggles under the handicap of not being raised wielding magic.
