An adventure series filled with mystery, suspense, and fantasy - for kids ages 9-12 and teens Having narrowly pulled off a near-impossible mission on Sevlar a few months earlier, Peter, Mr. Winchester, and Zoltan are now busy deciding on what course of action to take next. The limited information they receive on Xavier tells them what they fear most: that the size of Xavier's army is increasing exponentially. There are only two avenues that can give Peter and Zoltan's team a fighting chance: One, recruit some weather gods to join forces with them. And two, find a way to thin out Xavier's army. Both of these options are, unfortunately, much easier said than done. And accomplishing them will require Peter and his team to come up with an ingenious plan. But this challenging dilemma will also involve a huge amount of risk...

Xavier's army of evil weather gods outnumber Zoltan's by a factor of 20, or possibly even 30, meaning the threat of being invaded is growing day by day. To give themselves a chance against this upcoming onslaught, they need help. A lot of help. But acquiring this assistance will involve dredging up a secret from Sevlar's past that few even know about. With time dwindling, and other options nonexistent, Peter leads his team on a risky and dangerous mission to find those who "might" join their side, unaware of what he and his friends will have to conquer in order to get to their destination...

Back at the Winterhouse hotel for another holiday season, Elizabeth and Freddy dig deeper into the mystery surrounding Riley S.

The two friends follow a trail of clues, inadvertently attracting the attention of a suspicious new hotel guest: Elana Vesper. The clock is ticking as Elizabeth and Freddy struggle to figure out whether Elana is merely a pawn or a player in the plot to revive the spirit of Gracella.

Mystery, adventure, and a winning friendship combine in this much anticipated sequel. Christy Ottaviano Books
