Never give your name to a demon. Everyone knows that. Even I know that. But I did it anyway....
Shortly after Simon joins the powerful ranks of the Circle of Eight, his discovery of an ancient secret at Skelligard castle sends him on a journey of epic proportions. He and his new friends will travel with pirates on a voyage across space toward a destination as dangerous as it is mysterious. Their goal: to find a wizard who has been imprisoned with his secret for hundreds of years. Behind them, a treacherous enemy follows, seeking revenge. Now Simon must harness the capricious magic of the turncoat to save his friends from the danger that lies ahead…and behind…
Three friends. Two ancient mysteries. One magical porta-potty.
Complete with 157 footnotes and a button that makes sheep fall from the sky, Simon Fayter and the Doors of Bone is the rip-roaring tale of an endearingly overconfident and hilarious boy genius. Simon has no idea that the quirky old tutor his mom works for is hiding an ancient secret, but the truth comes out when dark forces attack. Simon inherits a dusty coat, a slew of strange powers, and an age-old mystery. Namely, that the strange 'lucky streak' he was born with is actually something much more complicated. And more dangerous...
Austin J. Bailey has entertained over 500,000 readers with his bestselling Magemother series, and his latest work is better than ever. Doors of Bone is the first in a series of five middle-grade fantasy novels for kids of all ages.
An invisible girl. A missing mage. A world in need…
Brinley has spent most of her life lost in her own imagination, teaching bullfrogs to do gymnastics and pretending to be invisible. Now, when a magic bell from another world summons her across time and space on a journey to find her mother, she will discover real friendship, face true evil, and overcome her greatest fears in order to save the ones she loves.
The Mage and the Magpie is the first book in Austin J. Bailey's Magemother series: an epic middle-grade fantasy adventure series with witches, shapeshifters, and cliffhangers, and awesome kids.
