Book Description

Chuck Kingsley has been chosen. His whole life, he's grown up in the shadow of his estranged, yet successful father. Since birth, everything has been meticulously planned out for Chuck, from school to his future career. All he wants is to live a normal life, but normal is out of the question for Chuck. When teenagers start to disappear all over New York, Chuck learns that magic is real and there's a world called Acanesia that's full of it. Not only that, but he gets summoned by the Queen, who has a strange request. Caylene Casselle wants to be free. Everyone she knows would be thrilled to be the Princess of Acanesia, but she doesn't think it's that glamorous. Wearing long dresses and attending Magical Court meetings can get boring after a while; and for Caylene, it's torturous. Meanwhile, dark forces are gathering strength. Monsters that have hidden in the shadows for decades, including the vicious Oglaturantas, are wreaking death and destruction once more. The Queen is holding a competition to find a group of powerful teenagers who just might be able to save the kingdom from a brewing war. For some reason, she believes a boy from the Other World is the key. When the opportunity arises for Caylene herself to compete, she risks everything she knows to fight for her kingdom. Together, the two uncover deadly secrets from the past, including a lost weapon that could be their last defense, if they can somehow find it before the monster army does. They're up against dangerous enemies of all kinds, as they fight for the survival of not just Acanesia, but both their worlds!

He started writing creatively at the age of seven and worked on this book for over five years as a teenager. The Jewels of Fate is his first published novel.

Book Description

*NOW A NETFLIX LIMITED SERIES—from producer and director Shawn Levy (Stranger Things) starring Mark Ruffalo, Hugh Laurie, and newcomer Aria Mia Loberti* Winner of the Pulitzer Prize and National Book Award finalist, the beloved instant New York Times bestseller and New York Times Book Review Top 10 Book about a blind French girl and a German boy whose paths collide in occupied France as both try to survive the devastation of World War II. Marie-Laure lives with her father in Paris near the Museum of Natural History where he works as the master of its thousands of locks. When she is six, Marie-Laure goes blind and her father builds a perfect miniature of their neighborhood so she can memorize it by touch and navigate her way home. When she is twelve, the Nazis occupy Paris, and father and daughter flee to the walled citadel of Saint-Malo, where Marie-Laure’s reclusive great uncle lives in a tall house by the sea. With them they carry what might be the museum’s most valuable and dangerous jewel. In a mining town in Germany, the orphan Werner grows up with his younger sister, enchanted by a crude radio they find. Werner becomes an expert at building and fixing these crucial new instruments, a talent that wins him a place at a brutal academy for Hitler Youth, then a special assignment to track the Resistance. More and more aware of the human cost of his intelligence, Werner travels through the heart of the war and, finally, into Saint-Malo, where his story and Marie-Laure’s converge. Doerr’s “stunning sense of physical detail and gorgeous metaphors” (San Francisco Chronicle) are dazzling. Deftly interweaving the lives of Marie-Laure and Werner, he illuminates the ways, against all odds, people try to be good to one another. Ten years in the writing, All the Light We Cannot See is a magnificent, deeply moving novel from a writer “whose sentences never fail to thrill” (Los Angeles Times).

Book Description

What was the strange impetus that drove a group of four widely different humans to embark on a fear-filled journey across a forbidden sea to a legendary land? This was Earth still, but the Earth of a future terribly changed after a planet-searing disaster, a planet of weird cults, mutated beasts, and people who were not always entirely human. As for the four who made up that questing party, they included a woman who was either a goddess, a witch, or both, a four-armed boy whose humanity was open to question, and two more men with equally "wild" talents. The story of their voyage, of the power-wielding "jewels" they sought, of the atomic and post-atomic terrors they encountered, is a remarkable science-fiction Odyssey of the days to come.

Book Description

“A gripping mystery that skips between Edwardian and modern-day London . . . to uncover the bonds between generations of women. . . . Thrilling.” —Sally Hepworth, New York Times bestselling author of The Mother-in-Law Why would someone bury a bucket of precious jewels and gemstones and never return? Present Day. When respected American jewelry historian, Kate Kirby, receives a call about the Cheapside jewels, she knows she’s on the brink of the experience of a lifetime. But the trip to London forces Kate to explore secrets that have long been buried by her own family. Back in Boston, Kate has uncovered a series of sketches in her great-grandmother’s papers linking her suffragette great-grandmother Essie to the Cheapside collection. Could these sketches hold the key to Essie’s secret life in Edwardian London? In the summer of 1912, impoverished Irish immigrant Essie Murphy happens to be visiting her brother when a workman’s pickaxe strikes through the floor of an old tenement house in Cheapside, near St. Paul’s Cathedral in London. The workmen uncover a stash of treasure—from Ottoman pendants to Elizabethan and Jacobean gems—and then the finds disappear again! Could these jewels change the fortunes of Essie and her sisters? Together with photographer Marcus Holt, Kate Kirby chases the history of the Cheapside jewels. Soon, everything Kate believes about her family, gemology, and herself will be threatened. Based on a fascinating true story, The Lost Jewels is a riveting historical fiction novel that will captivate readers from the beginning to the unforgettable, surprising end. “A brilliant story, brilliantly told.” —Heather Morris, #1 New York Times–bestselling author of The Tattooist of Auschwitz
