A New York Times Bestseller! This magical adventure from the #1
digital comic platform WEBTOON continues as Dani and Dorian answer
the question they've been avoiding: could one of them be the king
of witches? A classic good-vs-evil struggle plays out on an epic
stage in the second volume of this bestselling comic. Dani and
Dorian Wytte have been through everything together-including
joining forces with trouble maker Nico, Princess Monica, and golden
boy Mark to sneak into the witch's sabbath, spring hostages from
prison, and defend the castle when it was attacked by witches. With
witches like their parents out for power and blood and non-magical
people increasingly threatened by them, Dani and Dorian don't know
whose side they're on . . .or if anyone's on their side. That
includes their brother, Damien, who disappeared after being crowned
King of Witches. But since Monica's father, the king, and her
fiance, Prince William disappeared, too, Dani and Dorian know they
must set out to find their lost allies. Luckily, they aren't alone.
Based on the beloved webcomic from WEBTOON, Hooky Volume 2 picks up
right where the action left off and is in stunning print format for
the first time with exclusive new content sure to please fans new
and old.

In the eerie town of 'Allows, some people get to be magical sorceresses, while other people have their spirits trapped in the mall for all ghastly eternity.

But the mall is getting boring, and B.G. is cursed to haunt it, tethered there by some unseen force. And now Beetle's old best friend, Kat, is back in town for a sorcery apprenticeship with her Aunt Hollowbone. Kat is everything Beetle wants to be: beautiful, cool, great at magic, and kind of famous online. Beetle's quickly being left in the dust.
But Kat's mentor has set her own vile scheme in motion. If Blob Ghost doesn't escape the mall soon, their afterlife might be coming to a very sticky end. Now, Beetle has less than a week to rescue her best ghost, encourage Kat to stand up for herself, and confront the magic she's been avoiding for far too long. And hopefully ride a broom without crashing.
