New Reading Selections

Sorceress
If you like historical fiction and/or stories about witches and the Salem Witch Trials this is a great book. The story begins in Witch Child when Mary Dowd is swept away from London to America when her grandmother is hanged for being a witch. Mary believes she can have a fresh start in America only to have the same circumstances occur again and this time she is accused of being a witch. Sorceress takes over where the first book left off to discover what really happened to Mary Dowd after she was accused of witchcraft.

Endymion Spring
Endymion Spring is a mute apprentice to Guttenburg, the inventor of the printing press. Spring discovers a book that was made from dragon skin and contains all the knowledge in the world. The book reverts between the 1400s and the present day where a young boy finds the treasured book that is sought after by many.

Pendragon: The Merchant of Death
This is the first in a series that so far spans 8 books. Bobby Pendragon is by all accounts a normal kid, at least until his uncle Press tells him that he is a Traveler and must leave his whole life behind to save the people on a territory known as Denduron from annihilation. Bobby sends journals back to his friends on Second Earth describing his wild adventure.
