Synopsis The Wizardly Journey by : M.S. Metcalf

‘In a distant time on the island of Axis that sat in the southern Atlantic, a translucent blue butterfly fluttered its delicate gossamer wings while dancing its whimsical way through fragrant flowers and ferns in sleepy woodland waking up to a glorious brand new day. Sunlight shone through twisted, thick gnarly branches of trees older than time itself. Standing there, the timeless trees stood like megalithic statues greeting the solar dawn.’ The Wizardly Journey is a colourful and diverse escapist fantasy novel, which is full of interesting characters, each of whom represent the extremes and duality of human nature. Some are dedicated to saving precious lives and fragile eco-systems, living authentically with kindness and courage, while others are selfish and hide a dark agenda. This book will take the reader on a magical journey through different cultures, myths, legends and exotic locations. As well as opening the reader’s eyes to an amazing fairytale, The Wizardly Journey explores very real human issues such as conserving the planet, protecting animals, marine and avian life and the environment. A kaleidoscopic journey through the light and dark energies of humankind, this book will appeal to readers aged 13 and over. Written with the aim to giving animals a voice, The Wizardly Journeydraws attention to animals’ concerns and addressed them with an open mind.

Synopsis Klara's Journey by : Khaliela Serenity Wright

Klara doesn't have to think twice when a band of itinerant travelers offer her employment with their company. Eager to escape life as the village whore, she joins the expedition knowing only that the ragged wanderers are destined for the wildlands believed to be the ancestral home of their Goddess. Signing on as cook and huntress, she embarks on an adventure that leaves her torn between hope and fear. Aided by an unhelpful wizard, Klara finds herself pursued across nations by rabble-rousing religious zealots and ushered into a journey of self-discovery, tapping into a new world of sexual exploration rather than exploitation. Klara's journey catapults her into the lives of a banished nobleman and an exiled king, either of whom may shatter her heart... or lead to the ultimate betrayal.

Synopsis The Wizard's Dilemma by : Diane Duane

A novel “filled with very credible teen angst, morality, and an intriguing blend of science fiction and fantasy” from the author of A Wizard Abroad (School Library Journal). Still recovering from an overly eventful vacation in Ireland, teenage wizard Nita Callahan is looking forward to some peace and quiet in her suburban New York home. Instead, her close friend Kit seems to be acting a little weird, and Nita keeps running into problems for which wizardry either isn’t the answer or else it’s the wrong one. How do you fix what can’t be fixed? Only the Transcendent Pig knows, and it’s not telling. But Nita needs to find out—and soon. Her wizardly partnership with Kit starts to fall apart. Much worse, her mother gets sick . . . so sick she may never leave the hospital.Only one person can help Nita—the One she’s devoted her life to fighting. “Powerful and satisfying.”—Kirkus Reviews (starred review) “A gripping and dynamic fantasy . . . Fans of the author will flock to this new adventure, which likely will bring new readers to the series.”—VOYA Praise for the Young Wizards series “Duane is tops in the high adventure business . . . This rollicking yarn will delight readers.”—Publishers Weekly “High Wizardry is . . . high entertainment.”—Locus “Recommend this series to young teens who devour books about magic and wizards . . . or kids looking for ‘Harry Potter’ read-alikes.”—School Library Journal “Stands between the works of Diana Wynne Jones . . . and Madeleine L’Engle . . . An outstanding, original work.”—The Horn Book
