One of the best performing books in the Long Earth book series is the Oracle of Delphi Keep, which is the first installment in the oracles of Delphi book series by Victoria Laurie. In this installment, a hellhound is after the blood of orphans Theodosia and Ian Wigby after they find a box that was hidden in a cave at the White Cliffs of Dover. The box that the two boys found contained a prophecy that was written almost three thousand years ago by Leodamia, a great oracle. As the story unfolds, the two main characters end up on a quest, together with another orphan and two professors as they try to save the world from being taken over by a demon God or demogorgon.

What Is The Next Book in The Oracles Of Delphi Keep Series?
There doesn't seem to be an upcoming book in The Oracles Of Delphi Keep Series. The newest book is Quest for the Secret Keeper and was released on January, 1st 2012.
Although the premise of this series seems great and exciting, I can’t bring myself to recommend these books to children. I agree with the article above in that the pacing of the books is pretty slow. I don’t think a lot of young readers would be captivated enough to read the whole thing.
The story seems to break halfway though the series, and the final book feels incomplete and kind of like a betrayal to the reader, who put a lot of time in to get to the end of the story.
