About the Book

In the second book of Cole's Potion Masters series, the secrets of the potion-making world are at stake when Gordy has to unravel a mystery at B.R.E.W. headquarters and defeat the threat of a powerful new group of potion masters.

Book Synopsis

It has been nine months since Gordy and his friends, Max and Adilene, saved B.R.E.W. (the Board of Ruling Elixirists Worldwide) and the Vessel--the power source for the secret society of potion masters. Now, Gordy is starting the eighth grade, and has been trying new potion brewing techniques, but when he starts zoning out during practice, he knows something is wrong.

Gordy and his friends continue to work on their potions, but when Gordy chooses Max as his lab partner, Adilene starts to wonder if she still has a place with her old friends. She turns to a new friend, Cadence, who might know a way to help Adilene become a potion master on her own.

And in Greenland, Mezzarix has a chance to escape his Forbidden Zone--as long as he agrees to work with the mysterious Ms. Bimini and replicate an unusual solution known as "Silt." It could be just the weapon Mezzarix needs to destroy B.R.E.W. forever.

​With both B.R.E.W and the Vessel in danger, and with the potion world in chaos, it's up to Gordy, Max, and Adilene to rally the remaining Potion Masters before it's too late.

Review Quotes

"A thoroughly engaging, magical adventure, and a choice pick for school and public library Young Adult Fantasy collections. Also highly recommended is the first novel in the series, "Potion Masters: The Eternity Elixir". -- "Midwest Book Review" (2/1/2017 12:00:00 AM)

"A wonderful story with an ending that will likely lead readers to beg for more. This latest addition to the series picks up where the previous book left off and is filled to the brim with adventure and excitement."-- "School Library Journal" (10/1/2018 12:00:00 AM)

"Whether it is Max's mischief, Adilene's focus, or Gordy's genuine desire to do the right thing, the trio is the perfect mix of adolescent and hero. Gordy and Max seem to be white, and Adilene is a Salvadoran immigrant; secondary characters come together from around the globe to form a racially and culturally diverse cast. A clever second volume in a magical series sure to entertain fans of J.K. Rowling, Rick Riordan, and Brandon Mull." -- "Kirkus" (10/1/2018 12:00:00 AM)
