Read Book 1, Revenge of the Witch, and Book 2, Curse of the Bane, in one volume! A major motion picture phenomenon and an international bestseller, The Last Apprentice will haunt you—and terrify you—and keep you coming back for more.

    This volume includes Book 1, Revenge of the Witch, and Book 2, Curse of the Bane, of the Last Apprentice series. Only the Spook has the knowledge and skill to face ghosts, bind witches, and bargain with boggarts. Now he needs an apprentice—Tom Ward, who is the seventh son of a seventh son. Other apprentices have come before. All have failed, or fled, or died. Will Tom learn what they could not? Can he trust anyone, even his one true love? He will find out—and soon, for the dark is getting powerful, and the Spook's time has come. Will Tom survive to carry on his master's battle? Will he be the Last Apprentice?

    Soon to be a major motion picture, Seventh Son, starring Jeff Bridges, Ben Barnes, Alicia Vikander, Kit Harington, Olivia Williams, Antje Traue, Djimon Hounsou and Julianne Moore as Mother Malkin. The Last Apprentice series is "tantalizingly creepy" (Publishers Weekly), and "anything but tame" (Horn Book). But don't read it after dark!

      This is one of those books that I always knew from the description and everything I'd enjoy, but at the same time never quite made it to the top of my reading pile. I always seemed to be occupied with other titles instead. Nonetheless, it is right up my alley. A nice short read, it tells the story of Thomas Ward's start as apprentice to the Spook, and his adventure in those early days. I suppose this is actually more of a middle grade read than a YA one, or at least so it struck me to be the case, but it's a nice slightly creepy read that was, for me, long overdue.
    • 4/5
      A touch of scary. A touch of gore. Nice quick entertaining read. A good start to a series. It will be interesting to see if he can maintain my interest. A lot of long YA series lose me eventually.

      Excellent scratchboard illustrations. Enjoyable characters. Great for visual imagery.
    • 5/5
      Wow.. just.. WOW... I picked this book up at Borders last weekend and started reading it almost immediately. Now at first it took me awhile to get into it, but when it did... It was brilliant. I have to say quite refreshing to see all the things that go bumping through the night in their original forms. Our current literary culture has sort of white washed all things paranormal so that they're aren't scary anymore. That is not the case with this series. This book was written for mid-teens and here i am almost 25 and i got scared.The setting it what i would say 17th century Europe. Young Tom is the seventh son of the seventh son and it is his mother's wish that he become a "Spook". Spooks are people who deal with all things evil, paranormal, or just not right. People need them, but they don't want to be around them. Needless to say Tom isn't looking forward to the job. It doesn't help matters that barely two weeks into his apprenticeship he meets Alice. A girl with pointy shoes. Someone the spook said he should avoid at all cost. That mistake basically sets forth the whole series and book.It's after this point that Mr. Delaney starts to weave a suspenseful tail. Just like Tom you're not sure whom to trust and or what to do. All you know is that you have to keep on reading. Needless to say i've already ordered the next two books from amazon. ^^Rating: 5 stars. Brilliant and original.

      Tom is the seventh son of a seventh son, and is taken on as apprentice to the County Spook whose job it is to keep the residents safe from bad magic. Tom makes a couple of dangerous errors on his first encounter with a witch which puts his own family in danger.

      Nicely spooky - I picked up the first four at the library and am looking forward to reading the rest. (Definitely not at night, though.) I enjoy that there is much more ambiguity than there usually is in YA witchy fantasy. The story felt a little rushed in some ways, but I have a feeling that will remedy itself.
    • 4/5
      The story and characters were interesting but not compelling. I doubt I will read any of the other books in this series.
    • 4/5
      A good romp tinged with darkness. Built up the fear/suspense nicely.

      I'm a bit late in finding these books, but absolutely loved this the pace of this book and the development of the characters. I have already ordered book 2 & 3.

      Normally I don't care for horror, but these books walk just this side of it! Some interesting moral questions and characters I cared about. I liked all of this series!

      Thomas Ward is the seventh son of a seventh son. Thomas can also see and hear things, like ghasts and ghosts. This makes him perfect to be a Spook. Gregory the Spook is looking for an apprentice. A spook rids people of trouble such as ghosts, boggarts and witches. Thomas becomes Gregory's apprentice and they head back to Gregory's summer home. All of Thomas' training revolves around boggarts but he keeps getting into trouble with witches. There is a witch called Mother Malkin burried alive in the backyard. Thomas is tricked by Alice, Mother Malkin's niece into freeing her. Thomas does manage to kill Mother Malkin but then Bony Lizie, Alice's aunt takes revenge. Alice helps Thomas free himself.

      This work is action packed and Thomas and Alice are extremely likable characters.

      It was ok, I suspect it gets better as the series goes on but for now that's on the back burner for me.
    • 4/5
      An interesting amount of potential. World-building was a bit lackadaisical with information offered only as needed, preventing any reader enjoyment of any real hypothesis or foreshadowing. I would have liked the Spook to talk more about the different types of creatures and give the audience a bit of time to think "hmmm...I wonder what the main enemy is going to be (instead of spelling it out in the title) and how the conflict will evolve" rather than right from the beginning introducing Alice, letting us know she's a witch and her family sucks, etc.

      Thomas Ward is the seventh son of a seventh son, gifted with an awareness of the supernatural. Arrangements have been made for him to become the next apprentice to the Spook. He'll learn how to combat and trap frightful creatures in order to protect the countryside. When he unknowingly releases a powerful witch from her imprisonment, he must rely on his limited knowledge to defeat her. This is the first book in The Last Apprentice series.Revenge Of The Witch is a middle grade, young adult story. It's an engaging blend of fantasy and horror. It manages to create an eerie undertone that enhances the suspense.I enjoyed reading this story and was surprised by how creepy it was at times. The settings were wonderfully portrayed and atmospheric. I especially enjoyed the large amount of paranormal and supernatural elements packed into the story. It has everything from hauntings, possession, ghasts, boggarts, witches, and gruesome magic. All while remaining appropriate for the intended audience. I loved the ink illustrations by Patrick Arrasmith included throughout the book. Each illustration enhanced the tone and mood of each chapter beginning. I also liked the map and journal entries included at the end of the book. I especially liked how they mirrored information given within the story and felt like they came from the main character. I really liked how Thomas' character demonstrates the concept of bravery by facing his fears. Each new frightful encounter further develops his character and I couldn't help rooting for him. I also liked that the story touched on different ideas such as loneliness, tolerance, independence, and compassion through his character.The story is a quick read with interesting characters and exciting adventures. I did lose a bit of interest towards the end because I didn't care much for the extended storyline with Alice but I'm curious about what role she will play in the future. The story sets the foundation for the series and I definitely plan to continue reading The Last Apprentice series.

      What Luann said, in her 4* review of Sept. 26, 2009.
      I was curious; I don't normally like these kinds of books, but this was exceedingly well-written and the levels of suspense & gore are probably just about perfect for ages 10-14. The cover art and format of the book are good because older teens and adults could also carry it around without embarrassment.

      My curiosity is satisfied, and the book does *not* end on a cliffhanger, so I won't be reading on. But I can easily see fans wanting to read the whole set and getting impatient for the next.

      The illustrations are terrific. The page count might seem high - but there are big margins and other design choices that make it much bigger than it really is - that is to say, it's probably closer to the word count of an adult novella.

      My library had it in Juvenile rather than YA - I might dispute that, especially given their decisions on certain other books.

      I recently saw a movie trailer for Seventh Son, an action / fantasy film. It caught my interest. Knowing that many, many movies are based on books, I did a little digging.Turns out, the movie is actually based on the first two books in The Last Apprentice (The Wardstone Chronicles, as it was originally published in the U.K.) series, written by Joseph Delaney. This book, and perhaps the series, falls into my search for the #NextYaCraze. And I can easily see it becoming a sensation.I read Revenge of the Witch (The Last Apprentice, Book 1) in one day. The basic dust jacket flap synopsis of the young adult novel states: For years, Old Gregory has been the Spook for the county, ridding the local villages of evil. Now his time is coming to an end. But who will take over for him? Twenty-nine apprentices have tried—some floundered, some fled, some failed to stay alive. Only Thomas Ward is left. He’s the last hope, the last apprentice.My take. Thomas comes from a large family. He is the seventh son on a farm. His older siblings are moved out, and working, except for Jack. Jack and his pregnant wife live in the farmhouse. He is going to take over the land and continue in their father’s place. It is the father’s role to ensure employment for his kids. By the time he reached the seventh son, all of his favors have been used up. Old Gregory, the Spook, needs an apprentice, and only takes on seventh sons. Mam (Thomas’ mom), had sent the Spook a letter, and with that Thomas will spend a month with Old Gregory to see if being a spook is something Thomas wants to do with his life.A Spook is a lot like a dentist. No body cares for dentists. Being a spook is a lonely job, where ridding towns of evil encourages nasty looks from locals. Spooks are feared. Ignored. Picked on. That is until they are needed. Thomas isn’t certain he is going to appreciate such an ostracized way of life. The training consists of learning the layout of the land, dealing with a variety of evils, and keeping a journal to ensure history is recorded, and can be then called upon by future spooks.Like any apprentice, Thomas makes mistakes. Unfortunately, his mistakes do more than just put his life in danger. When he crosses paths with a witch, the errors made put the lives of Old Gregory and his family in jeopardy. Thomas is faced with two choices, man up and meet the danger head on, or run away.With help from his teacher and an unexpected ally, Thomas must figure out how to combat against powerful witches and other creatures in order to fix the mess he’d made.There are currently, and I believe only to be, thriteen novels in the series. My goal, after reading the first, and about to start the second, is to read and review them all. I say this, because I enjoyed the first book. The characters are very well drawn, and the set up to build the series is obvious.Revenge of the Witch was an easy read, and highly entertaining. There was plenty of action, and unexpected twists and turns. While it is a YA novel, the theme and implications, the lessons and situations, should be engaging enough to satisfy any fantasy / horror / YA / NA fanbase.I look forward to finishing the second novel in the series, Curse of the Bane. Then I will have an idea about the movie,Seventh Son, before I go see it in theaters next month.Phillip TomassoAuthor of Damn the Dead and Blood River

      This is by far the creepiest middle grade book I’ve ever read. I’ve read some horror novels for adults that aren’t as scary as this! If you pick up this book, here are just a few of the disturbing things you have to look forward to: baby eating, children’s fingers being gnawed off, murder, evil beings that possess people by turning into sludge and crawling into their ear or nose, ghosts of hanging victims, animated skeletons digging through the wet dirt of a fresh grave, and so much more. Although the main character is annoyingly clueless at times, the writing engages all the senses to heighten the terror of the unseen things that lurk in the darkness. The result is a chilling, spine-tingling story that will make you want to sleep with the light on. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

      *Not for Middle Grade- more like YA!

      In my quest to find an audio series for my son and I to listen to in the car I came across this one. It's about a 13 year old boy who is starting his apprenticeship to be a "Spook" which is someone who fights evil such as witches and boggarts etc. The back of the audio cd says its for middle grade,10 and up, but it was pretty scary and gory!  The narrator, Christopher Evan Welch, is really good and he does the perfect witches voice and cackle but it is way too creepy for younger kids! I ended up taking the CD out because it was too much for my 9 year old. I did end up listening to it by myself though and even started the second book because I liked this one so much. It just seems to be more appropriate for high school students or young adults then middle grade. So even though I found an audio series for me to listen too :  )  I'm still on the hunt for something for kids.

      I really enjoy this series. I believe I got the first one free, and immediately after finishing it, had to buy the next one!
    • 3/5
      It was alright for a kiddo book. I had a hard time getting through it because there just wasn't that much to get excited about. In this first book of the series you really don't get to fall in love with the characters and I think that it's an insult to that reading level because I have read books in the past for those kids with a much bigger depth into the human experience.

      Book review by Alex M., posted by CA Library:"The Last Apprentice Revenge of the Witch is a title that leads to many questions. Why are there no more apprentices? Who is the witch? Why is she taking revenge? The author answers these questions completely and in detail.The story starts off with Tom Ward, a farm boy who is starting his new life as an apprentice to the Spook. The Spook is the man who travels throughout the county dealing with witches, ghosts and other evil things. Tom Ward is chosen as apprentice for reasons. One is that he is the seventh son of a seventh son which is what most apprentices are. Another reason is that his mother sent a letter to the Spook saying that Tom would be the Spook’s last apprentice.Tom begins his training by staying the night in a haunted house. As Tom spends his night in the house and throughout the rest of the book the author does a great job at describing what is happening and how Tom reacts to these things. The author makes it feel like you are actually there. After the house Tom resumes his training by learning about the many evil things that inhabit the county. As this happens you can tell how much Tom doesn’t like it.This book was written in such a way that you can make your own conclusions and makes you really think and contemplate what is going to happen next. However some of the characters weren’t talked about enough and that left me confused and wondering why some things happened. For that reason I gave it 4/5 stars."

      Children's LiteratureWonderfully-spooky illustrations promise weirdness and possibly fear and horror—a delightful mix for the 10- to 12-year-old crowd. The first chapter introduces the reader to the seventh son of a seventh son, a boy who is eager to get off the farm, but not so eager that he is jumping with joy at the idea of being apprentice to the Spook. However, Thomas J. Ward goes off on a month's trial. Soon he is up to his ears in trouble and questions. When should a promise be kept? Are all girls with pointy shoes trouble or is Alice, the niece of a witch, possibly good? Left alone for a short time, he ends up loosing the dangerous witch, Old Mother Malkin, from her cage and battling her into a river. When he heads home for solace from his mother (and instead gets a lecture on how he may be the only one who can stand up to the swelling evil in the world), Old Mother Malkin's slime trail warns him that he has brought trouble home to his family, particularly his new-born niece. This accomplished and complex story will fascinate middle-school readers. The characters, particularly Thomas and his family, sometime- friend Alice and his teacher, the Spook, are fully realized and definitely believable in their fantastic world of boggarts, witches, ghasts, and ghosts. Thomas's learning journal at the end is a treat by itself. 2005, Greenwillow Books, Ages 10 up

      My 9 year old daughter started reading Spooks, and she raved about it so now I have been reading them too.The strength of these books lies in the fantastic storytelling of teh author who spins a tail that really will achieve that suspenful state of tension that will delight younger readers. For adults too, the story is well written and never becomes tedious. Good interesting stuff.The stories are quite original, and well constructed, but not of great depth, and some of the themes feel like they are aimed at an older age group than 9, although the stories are perhaps not sufficiently complex to be branded young adult. Nevertheless I have a hard time recommending them to 9 year olds because while this first one is just fine, there are theems in some of the later books that are downright disturbing. Without wishing to write spoilers it is hard to go into details, but there is one particular theme, several books into the series, that led me to speak to teh school about placing these in an older section of the school library. The only time I have ever behaved like such an interfering parent! So please don't hold that against me.My recommendation is that children and young adults 11 and up would love this series.
    • 4/5
      Scary, fun young adult novels.

      A good book, but not great. It's right on the 'okay' line. Pretty well-written, though the characters aren't spectacular, and the plot is decent. There's not really anything -wrong- with it, there's just no real spark.
    • 4/5
      Picked this up a while ago but decided it would be a fun Halloween read. I wanted to preview it for my 10 year old son. He's been a fan of R. L. Stine's Goosebumps for years and from the general premise, I thought The Last Apprentice might be a fun series for him.For being a middle-reader book, I found this rather engaging. I really enjoyed the character development. I liked the language and imagery used. And I found the story entertaining. The concept of the book (the first in a series) is somewhat intriguing. We're in some "County" that feels loosely based on 18th/19th century America. A collection of small towns and villages spread over the countryside with generally religious/righteous people who are very superstitiously afraid of all things supernatural. Which is where the story comes in. Gregory is a "Spook" which basically means he wanders around the County taking care of these supernatural problems….witches, ghosts, boggarts, etc. He's sort of like a colonial era version of the Ghostbusters. And he's taken our central character Tom as his apprentice. Tom is a bit frightened and wary of what this means, but he puts his heart into the effort and learns a lot, but also makes a number of very BAD mistakes which lead to a lot of bad problems for himself, the community, the Spook and others.I felt like the story arc was pretty cohesive and the trajectory was generally believable. It was a bit of a stretch for me when Tom kept quiet about his encounter on the way back from town (I don't want to spell out what he kept secret, as it's a semi-spoiler). The Spook is Tom's authority figure and he'd given him very specific and particular advice. It didn't seem odd to me that Tom would have an opportunity to go against the Spook's advice…but it did seem odd that he didn't let the Spook know what happened. I guess perhaps he was ashamed/embarrassed, but since nothing had really happened, there shouldn't have been any need for hesitation. Still, I guess that's probably just me trying to put an adult mindset on a child's behavior.Anyway, the story progressed well and I found myself caught up in the suspense and horror of the events as they unfolded. Things went from bad to worse to disastrous. And it felt like a natural rather than contrived flow. I was somewhat surprised at how everything finally came to a resolution.So, overall, I enjoyed the book and found it an entertainingly creepy read. But, would I recommend it for my ten year old? NO. I would not. Part of me wants to because it was an entertaining read…but the larger part of me doesn't want to because this is a dark and gritty book. It's definitely written with children in mind. The horror stays on the tamer side of things…but it's still very creepy and very dark. The elements of violence and segments of gruesome interactions would certainly be frightening to anyone with tender sensitivities. Perhaps I'm being over protective as a parent…but I don't feel like this is the sort of book for a young reader. I could see the content working for a teenage audience…but by that point, it may come off as a little thin for teens who would rather graduate up to adult horror/thrillers.Generally, I give the writing and the story 3.5 out of 5 stars, but even though it's a "kids" book, I can't recommend it for youngsters.****3.5 out of 5
