And then it isn't long before the magical pleas for help start arriving. So, armed with the name of a beach on the mysterious Arys Isle, Finn sets out to find him. But Arys Isle is a strange place and the people are even stranger.

Kansnubra Island: (HARRY POTTER) Inspired by Andrews_Ulisses

Garley, a young boy, is constantly bullied by the arrogant students at Braghton College. But then a light at the end of the tunnel appears-or so he thinks-when he finds a gold medallion that teleports him to Kansnubra Island. The island is located in the Bermuda Triangle, and is the secret home of dragons, wizards, warriors, and adventures-a place where magic meets advanced technology. However, Garley's journey to return to his normal life will be long and hard, and the portal in the woods that could be his ticket home may not be reachable at all. The uncertainty will be great, but the adventures and friendships will be even greater. "You are stuck, Garley," said Aldrich, in his scratchy voice, looking at him with pity in his eyes. "There is no way off the island. In order to leave, we would need the portal. It is deep in the woods." "It's in the woods? Then let's go there!" Garley said. He would do anything to see his family again. "Don't be foolish! There are monstrous creatures in the woods. Besides, it is huge, and we do not know the exact location of the portal."

Atlantis Academy: The First Element by AutumnKalquist

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?

Grey Folk by SarahSokol5

Emory has lived in a gloomy mansion underneath the tropical Island of the Fay for nearly two hundred years, perfectly content and perfectly alone. The Raven Queen, the goddess who blesses him and his kind with immortal life in exchange for their service, occasionally sends him on daring missions of thievery that require far more risk and excitement than Emory has ever wanted; still, for the most part his island is a peaceful place, where nothing ever happens. Until the day a massive mud-pit opens, and from it emerges a woman the likes of which Emory has never seen. Midge cannot remember a time before she worked as a dishwasher, errand-girl and all around greyfolk grunt for Titania, the Queen of the Faewild. As part of her duties, she is assigned to serve a visiting dignitary; a mysterious and powerful figure who calls himself Chevalier. Though Midge trusts no fae, Chevalier manages to trick her into a portal that sends her hurtling through planes of existence, until she lands hard upon Emory's island. Midge doesn't like Emory, and Emory doesn't like anyone at all; despite their differences, they are forced to work together to discover Chevalier's ultimate intentions, and thwart his designs upon their destiny.
