This is a review of the second book in the series titled W.I.T.C.H. adapted by Elizabeth Lenhard. The second book is titled "The Disappearance." The series is about five girls who are Guardians of the Veil and have magical powers.

In this book, Hay Lin's grandmother tells Will, Irma, Taranee, Cornelia, and Hay Lin that they are now the Guardians of the Veil. After that, she explains what the Veil is. She tells the girls that it is a barrier between earth and the dark world of Metamoor. She tells them that it is the only thing that is keeping evil from the girls' peaceful world. The girls are to protect the Veil and keep evildoers from it. When the evildoers are onquered, then there wouldn't be a need for the Guardians.

The Oracle is the all-knowing being who has anointed the five girls with magical powers and protectors of the Veil. Yan Lin also tells Hay Lin about her experience when she was a child. She was also a Guardian of the Veil like Hay Lin is now. She had magical powers. Hay Lin thought they were witches, but Yan Lin explains to her that they are not witches.

Later on, Yan Lin completed her task as a Guardian of the Veil and the other duties she was assigned, so it was her time to go. Yan Lin passed away.

Two days earlier, the girls found out that the police were in the principal's office. There was an article in the paper about what happened. A boy at their school had disappeared. Now, the girls are wondering what happened and why he disappeared. The principal call Hay Lin into the office to talk to her. It was at that time, that Hay Lin found out that her grandmother had passed away. The girls went to Hay Lin's grandmother's funeral service.

After that, the focus shifted to Will and her family. Will and her mother were sitting at the table having breakfast and reading the newspaper. It was a typical Sunday morning at the table. Will was also glad that her mother didn't know about her magical powers.

In Chapter Eight, the focus was on Irma's family. Her father was a policeman. They saw the picture of Andrew Hornby on a milk carton.

Now you will have to read the book to find out what happened to Andrew Hornby. Was he kidnapped? Did something happen to him because of a magic spell? Or was there another reason he disappeared?
