Haven's Legacy

The Powers #2

by Melissa Benoist, Jessica Benoist-Young

The thrilling and heartfelt second book in The Powers, a sweeping middle-grade fantasy series from Supergirl’s Melissa Benoist and her sister, the writer Jessica Benoist
 
When Parker and Ellie McFadden’s mysterious aunt Sadie shows up in the aftermath of the dramatic events at Haven House, they realize their world is about to get a lot bigger. They’ve been invited to join an underground society called the Sentry, a group comprised of powerful individuals tasked with protecting the planet. At Mountain Harbor, a summer training camp for junior members of the Sentry, Ellie and Parker will be given a chance to hone their newly realized abilities in a secure space. It’s what Sadie wants them to do, since she needs their help with an important and cryptic mission as soon as they’re ready.
 
But Mountain Harbor is not what it seems. Though Sadie promised the girls protection, the Danger—a smoky, tentacled being born of greed and chaos—has broken free of the forests surrounding Haven to follow Parker and Ellie to Mountain Harbor. The twins must rely on their new friends and teachers to help them defeat the fearsome threat and uncover the truth behind Sadie’s mysterious assignment. But most of all, they will have to rely on each other.

SUCH a cute story. I love teamwork. The cast of characters at the Sentry was so diverse and fun and a rich community of people for the girls to lean on. I would have devoured this series as a child, and found it comforting and fun as an adult.

This book was amazing, it somehow kept the same energy from the last one while at the same time changing a lot about the story. The twins relationship grew so much and they were in very different places most of the book which was very fun to see. It had amazing plot twists towards the end and they introduced representation so smoothly and proving that representation matters and it doesn’t have to be forced.

It gave me the same vibes from harry potter and mostly magisterium, plus some hints of percy jackson, i’m completely obsessed, im also 18 years old which says a lot ab how good this middle school book was.

4.5⭐
I really enjoyed this story. I really the girls dynamics and their amazing and string sisterly bond.
Furthermore I liked all the new additions with the new characters. However, I would have like to learn a bit more of the background between the reveal of the story and it's connection to the Powers siblings.

I just finished listening to the audiobook version of this book narrated by Jessica Benoist.

After listening to the first audiobook of the series, I HAD to listen to this one as well.
And, even if I’m not the target audience for this book, I really loved it!

At its core there’s always the bond between the two twin sisters, Parker and Ellie, but this time they embark on a journey that will change their lives forever.
It was definitely a pageturner and I really loved how the story ends. Well, for us, because for them it’s just a new beginning ✨

Would absolutely recommend it to middle-schoolers/teenagers, but also to everyone who loves fantasy, magic and family bonds!

This is a new series that my niece absolutely adores. The second book expands on the world of Haven's Secret as well as Parker and Ellie's family wonderfully. It's exciting and adventurous for kids. As an adult, who read this with my niece, who doesn't love a magical girl and talking dog concept?

Thank you for this fun family series Jessica Benoist-Young and Melissa Benoist.

I loved everything about this book - the characters, the story, the environmentalist message. It was a great second book for Melissa and Jessica Benoist. I hope there will be a third. I miss the Powers girls already!

Benoist Hoist #2
The Powers #2
Well I just never really got into this, but I made my way through it, it was just say they say in the classics not my cup of tea.
Some may enjoy but not this little duck!
