Samuel Brandt woke up with his thoughts written all over his body. His brother woke up with his head missing. His sister woke up to find that her skin would crack open unless she stayed in water. All of the other children in the secluded Iowa town of Oak Knoll woke up having undergone strange transformations. Now, they are all forced to live at 407 West Marshall Street, the mysterious house outside of town. With the new name of The Boy with Words for Skin, Samuel wants nothing more than to hide from his new life. He painfully and unpredictably sheds his skin, there is a Voice in the entryway closet that is often cruel, and-perhaps worst of all for a naturally shy boy-the other children look to him as a leader. As his seven-year-old brother struggles with their new life, as terrifying growls start to come from the pitch black basement, and as his feelings for a girl begin to grow, The Boy with Words for Skin realizes that he wants to change. He wants to put others first, learn from his peers, and let himself hope that things will get better. The Boy with Words for Skin is the first book in the 407 West Marshall Street series. Each book will advance the story but be told from a different character. Book 2 will be The Girl without Eyes.

In the modern world, a wizard can use a smart phone. He can also play video games, or eat sandwiches, just like anybody else. A wizard, however, can also fight demons and do things that other people merely dream about. Eldrian is a clever and imaginative young man trying to be the best wizard he can be, all while trying to hide from those who seek to catch or kill those like him. Follow the wizard Eldrian and his friend Kevin as they mass a band of colourful characters-some wizards and some not. They combine their talents to take down demons, fight off the government's spellbreakers and wizards of their own, and develop reality-bending spells. They'll even travel to fantastical, far-off locations. Hell isn't so bad once you get used to it. This serial is generally light-hearted with comedic elements, but there's also emotional moments as the stakes become higher. Not everything for a wizard is sparkles and unicorns.
