Wednesday Weeks and the Tower of Shadows. Denis Knight & Cristy Burne. 2021.

In a world of magic, can science save the day?

Wednesday Elizabeth Weeks never wanted to be a sorcerer's apprentice. She'd rather study science than magic. But when her cloak-wearing, staff-wielding grandpa is captured by a power-hungry goblin king, Wednesday must find a way to embrace her magical heritage and rescue him from the dreaded Tower of Shadows.

Lucky for Wednesday, she's not alone. Her best friend Alfie is a prime-number fan and robotics expert who's all-in on Wednesday's epic plan involving parallel universes, swords of power and a wise-cracking talking skull.
