Editorial Reviews

“Annette Oppenlander has a genuine flair for original and compelling storytelling and as with the first two volumes, “At Witches’ End” will keep the readers rapt attention from cover to cover. Unfailingly entertaining from beginning to end…” –Midwest Book Review

“…Oppenlander’s tale is guaranteed to please readers who love plenty of adventures, battles and love trysts. It is highly recommended YA historical fiction.” –Historical Novel Society

“Max’s second medieval adventure in this third Escape from the Past book is just as fascinating and fast paced as his first – if not more so. In this gripping story that will appeal to teens and teens-in-spirit alike, Max goes back in time to continue where he left off in The Duke’s Wrath – but he is eighteen months older and many years wiser. Gamers and general readers alike will find the Escape from the Past trilogy un-put-downable. I sure did, and so did my teen boys.” –Daniela I. Norris, author of Recognitions

“Playing a computer game for fun is one thing...playing it for your life is something else! At Witches’ End is a cleverly crafted fast moving adventure, combining medieval rawness with a modern perspective. It portrays developing friendships that transcend time, historical detail that makes the setting powerfully real and shows the sometimes perilous journey of teenage coming-of-age.” –S.Y. Palmer, author of May’s Moon
