adventure boarding british humour imaginary isolated kids orphanage quest rebel school

Sylvia dreams vividly. Increasingly she's finding these dreams hard to forget, but that's not a problem, right? 

Life at Samjay's is pretty tedious. Same teachers trying to stretch her, same housemistress watching her every move, same scenery in the grounds that they're forbidden from leaving. Even her best friends Zack and Elliot are resorting to increasingly elaborate schemes to keep themselves entertained. Luckily her partner in crime Luciel is on hand to stop her getting into too much trouble, joining her on escapades involving conspiracy theories, exotic environments, and out-smarting the baddies by finding novel uses for toothpaste.

But when a stranger arrives at the institute, things start getting a little to real for Sylvia's liking. Can she keep her cool under changing circumstances, or is her imagination getting out of control?All Rights Reserved

A young magician from Earth by Elsingor

What boy doesn't dream of adventure? Especially if you have to master the most real magic? So Tim, a very ordinary twelve-year-old boy, didn't take long to accept the offer to enter a school of sorcery. He was not deceived: he actually ended up in the school. Which was located on the planet Jelshakh, perhaps on the other side of the universe. A whole crowd of boys and girls arrived at the school at the same time, but what a crowd! Elves, drowes, orcs, anzimars, peirots... and not a single Earthling but him. That, however, did not prevent him from making friends, and together they go to meet the real dangers and amazing discoveries! A true friend stays with you, even if he has something you don't. Tim is the only one at school who doesn't have an innate gift for magic. And he'll have to work hard to prove that he can do magic, too.

Margie is your child now." "Margaret, you are sick. You need help." "The only help that I need..." She took a bow and arrow out of her bag, letting go of her bag in the process, and set the arrow on the bow. "...you all need help."

"And the only way that you guys will receive help is if I kill my replacement." ----------------------------- If you like adventure, mystery, humor, or cliffhangers, then this is the book for you!
