Jack Mac Paidin just wants to survive life as an orphan long enough to get out of school and find both of his siblings. Together, he's hopeful they can figure out why they were separated when their parents died nine years ago. But those plans are thrown into a tailspin when he touches a golden telescope that reveals his newly awakened magical powers. The craziness intensifies when Jack finds out his conspiring aunt and uncle have been waiting for this moment ever since that fatal car wreck. Jack is shocked to learn he comes from a long line of sorcerers who want to use his abilities for their evil purposes. Then a mysterious butler materializes, telling Jack about his magical-hat-making grandfather, who Jack has never even heard of, and shares clues about Jack's incredible birthright. He learns that his older brother, Ethan, has been duped into joining an evil cabal and that his grandmother is lost in time. But Ethan is heir apparent to the Mac Paidin lands and title. And their conspiring aunts have convinced him that Jack is being groomed to take his place. Caught in a world of dark powers, jealousy, greed, and hunger for power, Jack is thrust into a frightening mystery only he can solve. -- The Golden Telescope is a fast-paced MG novel with magic, mystery, and mayhem.

What happens when a simple birthday gift unravels the threads of fate itself? The land of Yuvell thrives on magic, where ordinary lives intertwine with the extraordinary. Among its people is Sarah Day, the eldest daughter of the Day family and the successor to her family's pottery shop. On the day of her coming-of-age celebration, Sarah receives a strange yellow amulet from her older brother, Dorian-a gift she doesn't fully understand, but cherishes all the same. Days later, Dorian vanishes without a trace, along with several magicians from her hometown. The only clue left behind is the amulet that is pulsing with a strange power that Sarah cannot yet comprehend. Nonetheless, determined to bring her brother home, Sarah leaves behind the comfort of her shop and ventures into a world brimming with mystery and deceit. During her search, she crosses paths with a mysterious man named Euros, whose guilefulness hides more than he lets on. Though their alliance is uneasy at first, Sarah soon realizes that their fates may be more intertwined than either of them dares to admit. As they follow the trail of the missing magicians, histories that have long been buried slowly began to resurface. Each step draws Sarah closer to the heart of a conspiracy that threatens not only her journey-but the balance between magic and mankind itself. Now, with deception at every turn and trust growing thinner by the day, Sarah must decide: how far is she willing to go to save the ones she loves? And when the truth finally surfaces, will she be ready to face it?
