Sinopse

With a witchfinder skulking about town, gifted healer Ann and a young Isaac Newton must be careful not to draw too much attention in this high-stakes story from Lindsay Galvin. 
Will the discovery of the Elixir of Life lead to a death sentence for a talented young healer? 
Ann Storer has inherited her grandmother’s mysterious gift of healing, which she shares through the special tinctures she dispenses in her family’s apothecary shop. When she combines her talents with the genius of a young Isaac Newton, recently arrived to board above the shop, the two create an incredible elixir with seemingly unlimited powers. 
But seventeenth-century England is a dangerous place to display any special abilities, and Ann must hide all evidence when witchfinder Abel Geach arrives in town. 
So when the plague starts to run rife and those she loves are in danger, will Ann risk everything to help them? 
Particularly suitable for readers aged 9+ with a reading age of 8. 
Ann’s choices ignite a breathless adventure of action and science, as she and Isaac race to protect their community while keeping their discoveries hidden. Set in old Europe, this childrens fiction story for kids and young adult readers celebrates friendship and explores social themes through technology and inventions, ideal for teenage and reluctant readers.
