If a picture is worth a thousand words, The Portrait of Doom is worth a thousand deaths ... and counting! That's because no one who sees it lives to tell about it. Even the artist, Jeremy Flem, upon completing the work, took one look at it and promptly died. Pity no one can discover its secrets ... except for Henry Castlewaite.
Meet Henry, Ben, and Gwendolyn, eleven year-old apprentices who realize that even the wizarding world has mysteries to solve. Henry is a special wizard who has a unique ability — he can feel magic. Nothing evades his detection, not a secret door, an enchanted object, or even a lost wand. It comes in handy when there is a mystery to solve.
In The Portrait of Doom, Henry confronts the evil wizard Baltos, who discovers The Portrait of Doom hides an ancient secret, but he needs Henry's help to unlock it. Henry has his own reasons to look into The Portrait. What he discovers even startles him!
In the spirit of great wizarding books of new and old comes a new collection of adventures beginning with Henry Castlewaite and The Portrait of Doom, a lighthearted, action-packed tale.
A world of great mystery and adventure awaits....
