Elby, A: CAULDRONS BUBBLE (e-book) (used book) | Amber Elby | bookbook.eu

Description

A magical bubble transports Alda through time and place to a realm of witches and curses, pirates and princes, and the lost worlds of Shakespeare. She, along with a cabin boy called Dreng, must navigate the conflicts and characters of Macbeth, Hamlet, and The Tempest. But will they escape with their lives? Or will they become lost and forgotten?

Imagine that Shakespeare's characters could interact off-stage and that their adventures could span beyond the bounds of the Bard's fiction: Hamlet deviously escapes from pirates who capture him on his way to England; Macbeth's witches perform their magic on unsuspecting victims; and a shadowy figure awakes from the backstory of The Tempest.

These stories and more come to life in Cauldron's Bubble as readers explore the worlds of Shakespeare's plays with an orphan girl named Alda and a cabin boy called Dreng, who each search for something lost.

Alda discovers a magical bubble that transports her to witches on a moor. Dreng, meanwhile, saves a prince. They are finally united on an enchanted island, where Alda is on a quest to free a magical being, and Dreng is smitten with a mysterious young woman. Ultimately, Alda must find power she gained in a forgotten realm to defeat a dreadful summoner, and Dreng must awaken to the realities around him before they are both consumed by magic.

Shakespeare experts and curious newcomers alike will enjoy these original adventures.
