Sam Kemi is off on another Hunt around the world, chasing secret potions and magic diaries in the second novel of the "charming and humorous" (Kirkus Reviews) Potion Diaries series.
After winning the Wilde Hunt, things are looking up for Sam Kemi and her family's potion business-until suddenly they aren't...
When someone goes after her grandfather, stealing his memories and priceless knowledge, the Kemi's Potion Shop is forced to close and Sam is left scrambling for answers-without her grandfather's help. Part of Ostanes's mind is trapped in those memories, and without them he's lost and confused. And the more time passes, the worse his condition becomes.
Hoping to reverse the effect of dark potions on the body, someone is looking for the recipe for aqua vitae-an elixir that can cure any illness-lost in the pages of an old Kemi family diary. But aqua vitae could also be the key to bringing her grandfather back, and that's all Sam really wants. Determined to find Ostanes's memories and the recipe first, Sam finds herself on the most important and perilous Hunt of her life.

The Search for the Eoz Potion
To help the ones you love, sometimes you must risk everything. Hailey and Claire do not like each other. When their mutual friend becomes hospitalized with a rare illness, they must embark on an adventure to the mystical Garden of Yllop to find the Eoz Potion, a mysterious medicine that can save their sick friend's life. Once in the Garden, they find themselves caught up in a conflict larger than either of them anticipated. They come under the attack of an army of mind controlled soldiers trying to keep them from the potion and kick them out of the Garden. They face an Evil Spirit that has taken control of the hearts of the once kind and caring people of Yllop. And they fight to restore the power of the true ruler of the Garden. The Search for the Eoz Potion explores the reasons why people will sometimes upend their lives and put themselves in harm's way in order to provide a better life for others. At its heart, this is a story about friendship and the power of sacrifice. In enduring all of these trials to help their friend, Hailey and Claire learn to trust each other and develop a confidence they didn't know they could find. This book was written as a project with my kids who were 10, 9, and 5 at the time. I had the basic idea and they filled in the details with things they thought would be interesting and exciting. I then tried to fit it all together into one story. The result is The Search for the Eoz Potion. I am looking forward to getting feedback on this, so please do not hesitate to leave your comments and reviews. If you like what you read, please vote and share with your friends. Thanks so much for the support!Complete
