I wake up in the middle of the night covered in sweat and tears falling down my face. I don't even notice Aladdin is there until I hear the sound of glass shattering and then I feel someone's arms wrap around me. I can't see anything because of the tears that are filling my eyes. I can't see who has their arms around me and I was about to freak out and push the person away when I hear his soft, calm voice. "Hey, hey, it's okay. I'm here, and you're safe." I wipe my eyes to see that it is Aladdin. I then wrap my arms around him and bury my face in his shoulder as tears fell down my face. He continues to hold on to me whispering calming things in my ear trying to get me to calm down. "It's okay, it was just a dream." He says as he pulls me into his lap gently and starts rocking back and forth. We stay like that for what seems like forever, but was actually only about ten minutes. I take a few deep breaths calming down. Aladdin pulls away from me just a little bit so he can look at me. "What happened in your dream?" ------ Astrids life has been turned upside down more then once. A child losing her parents and having no where else to go makes someone feel alone and afraid. She went from foster home to foster home for years. Change like that was hard for her as a younger child. Never feeling stable. Never have a set group of friends. Never having a set place to feel safe. Now she has the safe place. That home that she can feel safe in. The feeling of safely only lasts for so long though. After the death of her adopted mother from cancer her life turns upside down once again and she doesn't think she can flip it right side up this time. A girl with little to no hope might want to end it until she finds that special someone who can give her the hope she needs to make it farther in life. ------ All right reserved.

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?
