My name is Jamie Hattchet. I'm fourteen years old and a trained actor/pickpocket.

My life was pretty normal until I found the pocket watch. After that everything sort of spiralled out of control and my dad and I were flung through the pages of history (and the future), meeting all sorts of people; friends, foes, celebrities and things. All we wanted to do was to get back to our normal lives, to perhaps start afresh. I could do school and Dad could get a proper job, stop killing people for once. 

No such luck. Time is a harsh mistress.

My name is Jamie Hatchett and this is my story.

Five Star Reviews for Atlantis Academy: "Omg this book was amazing I couldn't put it down or stop reading. I carried it with me open on my phone while I did everything just to keep reading. I need more of all of this. Epic story, epic content, epic visuals, just epic. LOVE THIS!" "Once I got into this story, I did not stop reading it. This is a beautiful story about a very awkward girl who is riven with so much pain and angst and yet... this makes her who she is and shapes her into the person she will become. The world she finds herself awakened to is magical and yet filled with the all-too-familiar cliques and tribes of the very human people who inhabit it. One word to describe the story: beautiful!" "The story pulls you headlong to the end and leaves you wanting to shout "No! Not yet!" ...If there were 6 stars, I would have given it that." *** Humanity is one secret society away from extinction. The children of Atlantis use magic to keep us safe. If they make it through the Academy. Hi, I'm Lyric. And I'm kind of a mess. ADHD, that's me. I'm a high school drop-out, late everywhere I go, and one screw-up away from being homeless. I'm a loner, and I like it that way. Who needs friends when you have a Redwood forest nearby? Trees never bully me like the kids did at school. Or get drunk and throw things at my head. After my mom died, I figured life couldn't get much worse. I thought it might even get better. Ha. The universe has a great sense of humor. I should've listened to the rumors about evil spirits. About the angry, ancient magical creatures haunting our small Oregon Coast town. But did I? No. That was my first mistake. And it might be my last. 'Cause now I'm in a battle for my life. A whole new world has opened up... a magical world I don't understand. And the blood in my veins says I belong here. But I have to prove myself to save myself. And when have I ever done that?

"Hey! Can't you stop for like five minutes? I have so many questions and you keep going on and on." I yelled at him. He turned around and proceeded to come toward me, fuming in anger. I instinctively started taking steps backwards until my back touched the wall. He came towards me and caged me, whispering in anger "Really? And why, pray tell me, should I answer them." ***** Hi! I am Anana and my life story is the most predictable - quite literally. For I am a wight - a soul who lingers at the back of people's minds and watches their 'already known to me life story' unfold. However, things get interesting when something unpredictable happens in 'my' life, when I have to take my own step and even watch it for it can make the difference between 'my' life and death!
