Island of Fog Box Set 8-9 (Prison of Despair & Castle of Spells)

This volume contains Books 8 and 9 of the ISLAND OF FOG series. The fantasy-adventure saga follows a group of 12-year-old shapeshifters, able to transform into creatures of myth and legend. Book 8: PRISON OF DESPAIR Jolie was just a one-year-old baby, part of an experimental shapeshifter program, when she transformed into a jengu (one of the miengu water spirits) and stuck in that form. Faced with raising a creature they knew little about, the scientists had no choice but to hand Jolie over to others of her kind, the mysterious people of the lake. Sixteen years later, Simone wants to bring her home... Book 9: CASTLE OF SPELLS The hostage crisis is over, but Queen Bee and her Swarm still have a few prisoners. Not only that, but the scrags now have the power to create shapeshifters! Hal and his friends set out to infiltrate the Swarm's hideout, a castle perched on the cliff over the coastal town of Brodon. But the confined spaces make it difficult to transform, and Hal resorts to secrecy and sabotage rather than outright dragon mayhem...
