Review & Description

U.K. EDITION

As appealing as the thought of being a Sorcerer-Guardian is to Ajay Samuels, the harmonious existence between all Ageronians and Earthlies leaves little reason for him to put his abilities into practice. Abilities that should set him apart from the rest of his kind due to his status as an Altor; the elite and powerful body of seven succeeding families of the original seven Sorcerers elected to oversee and govern Ageron.

His monotonous life begins to change soon after experiencing a strange dream, and following his most vivid of premonitions, he senses a danger he knows too little of to do anything about. The world as he knows it all but vanishes following the most unexpected of confrontations with a new and powerful enemy he has never before had much to do with.

On his quest for further information, Ajay is confronted with more than he could ever have envisioned, and he knows everything about his life is about to change; for the worst.

The Magical Misperception of Meridian (Kindle Edition)

The Magical Misperception of Meridian
The Magical Misperception of Meridian (Kindle Edition)
By S.G. Rogers

Review & Description

Railing against convention in the kingdom of Meridian, Jona thinks a girl should be able to wear trousers, fight like a boy when necessary, and marry whomever she pleases. She happens upon the queen’s nephew, Lee, who stammers and cannot speak to girls at all…that is, until he meets Jona.

When the queen hires Jona to help her nephew acquire proper social graces, Jona experiences a blissful summer of pure enchantment. Jona and Lee learn to dance, perfect the art of polite conversation, and discover which fork to use at the dinner table. Although they become best friends, Queen Gaia considers Jona a mere servant. At summer’s end, Jona’s job in Meridian is done.

Lee and Jona keep in contact through a set of magical mailboxes given to Lee by the Wizard Farland. When the friends are finally reunited after ten years, their budding romance is torn asunder by an edict from the queen. Against impossible odds, Jona and Lee will fight for an uncertain future. But unspoken secrets and mysteries long in the making have yet to be revealed.

Will true love be denied…or can the differences between commoners and royalty be shown to be just a matter of magical misperception?Railing against convention in the kingdom of Meridian, Jona thinks a girl should be able to wear trousers, fight like a boy when necessary, and marry whomever she pleases.

Review & Description

Universal Orlando Resort has a reputation for cutting-edge attractions and entertainment. Inside its two theme parks, Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure, your family will experience the latest in ride technology.

You’ll love Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey, Shrek 4-D, The Incredible Hulk Coaster, Men In Black: Alien Attack, and The Amazing Adventures of Spider-Man. Many of the rides at Universal Orlando Resort combine 3-D film with live action and special effects. You’re going to have a great time. Use this guide, written specifically for 8-12 year-olds, to plan your vacation and make a list of the things you want to see first!

Both Universal Studios Florida and Islands of Adventure are covered in this book.

Click around throughout these pages for Universal fun facts, trivia, and links to more information about the rides, shows, and characters you’ll see inside the theme parks. CityWalk and the three Universal resort hotels are also covered. Finally, take note of some useful symbols. These will appear throughout the book as attractions are mentioned.

S = Scary
D = Dark
A = Awesome: don’t miss this attraction
T = Thrilling: think roller coasters
W = Wet: you might get soaked

Want to meet some characters? No problem. Look for information throughout this book on where to find them in Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure. A summary of the top character hang-outs is included at the end of each theme park section.

Sometimes you only have one day (or less) to see everything a park has to offer. The tips page at the end of each theme park section gives you a plan for seeing as many top attractions in the shortest amount of time possible. Keep in mind these plans are ambitious. You might need to take some breaks during the day to give your parents a rest!

Many Universal Orlando Resort attractions have height requirements. When this is the case, there will be a number after the ride listing that looks like this: 40”. That means you have to be at least 40 inches tall to ride. Many of the attractions require riders who are less than 48 inches tall to ride with an adult.

Are you hungry? Of course you are. Running around the theme parks takes a lot of energy, and that requires a lot of snacks. At the end of each section, look for a short description of the restaurants and food available in that part of the theme park.

Universal Orlando Resort 2012: A Planet Explorers Travel Guide for Kids is the only guidebook you'll need to plan a great trip. Have fun!

By David L Dawson

Review & Description

On a world where 99.9 per cent of the population have magic Cressida Widdershins often feels left out because she's about as magical as a turnip. But when a school trip presents her with a magic book she feels her time has come. Unfortunately dark forces are also after the book; shadow beings with vast powers and their assassin, a man who can turn people to stone. The phrase "be careful what you wish for" springs to mind...
This is the first volume in the Cressida Widdershins series.
I'd recommend it for children aged 10 and up.On a world where 99.9 per cent of the population have magic Cressida Widdershins often feels left out because she's about as magical as a turnip.

The Magicians: A Novel (Kindle Edition)

The Magicians: A Novel
The Magicians: A Novel (Kindle Edition)
By Lev Grossman

Review & Description

The New York Times bestselling novel about a young man practicing magic in the real world

Like everyone else, precocious high school senior Quentin Coldwater assumes that magic isn't real, until he finds himself admitted to a very secretive and exclusive college of magic in upstate New York. There he indulges in joys of college-friendship, love, sex, and booze- and receives a rigorous education in modern sorcery. But magic doesn't bring the happiness and adventure Quentin thought it would. After graduation, he and his friends stumble upon a secret that sets them on a remarkable journey that may just fulfill Quentin's yearning. But their journey turns out to be darker and more dangerous than they'd imagined. Psychologically piercing and dazzlingly inventive, The Magicians is an enthralling coming-of-age tale about magic practiced in the real world-where good and evil aren't black and white, and power comes at a terrible price.Amazon Best of the Month, August 2009: Mixing the magic of beloved children's fantasy classics (from Narnia and Oz to Harry Potter and Earthsea) with the sex, excess, angst, and anticlimax of life in college and beyond, Lev Grossman's Magicians reimagines modern-day fantasy for grownups. Quentin Coldwater lives in a state of perpetual melancholy, privately obsessed with his childhood books about the enchanted land of Fillory. When he’s admitted to the surreptitious Brakebills Academy for an education in magic, Quentin finds mastering spells is tedious (and love is even more fraught). He also discovers his power has thrilling potential--though it's unclear what he should do with it once he's moved with his new magician cohorts to New York City. Then they discover the magical land of Fillory is real and launch an expedition to use their powers to set things right in the kingdom--which, naturally, turns out to be a much murkier proposition than expected. The Magicians breathes life into a cast of characters you want to know--if the people you want to know are charismatic, brilliant, complex, flawed magicians--and does what Quentin claims books never really manage to do: "get you out, really out, of where you were and into somewhere better. " Or if not better, at least a heck of a lot more interesting. --Mari MalcolmThe New York Times bestselling novel about a young man practicing magic in the real world
