✦ Synopsis

Mythical creatures, shapeshifters, and magic—a gripping fantasy series for preteens, tweens, and adults, perfect for fans of Harry Potter, Percy Jackson,and Narnia.

This fantasy-adventure saga follows a group of 12-year-old children who discover they're shapeshifters, able to transform into creatures of myth and legend.

The first book is mysterious and creepy, a slow-build to discovery. In the second and third books, the young shapeshifters find themselves up against dangerous monsters and powerful enemies as they try to cope with their newfound abilities in a strange new world.

Book 1: Island of Fog

A hidden island shrouded in fog. That unseen place Out There on the mainland where something terrible happened years ago. Only a handful of people left in the world...

Or so the children are told.

When Hal and Robbie make an astonishing discovery in the woods, they realize the adults of the small community have a dark secret. And the arrival of a mysterious woman at school proves it. Who is she? Where on earth did she come from? The classmates are more determined than ever to find out what their parents are hiding.

But their lives are turned upside down when Abigail reveals a secret. According to her, the children are slowly changing into monsters of myth and legend! Are they freaks of nature, or subjects of a sinister experiment?

Book 2: Labyrinth of Fire

Hal Franklin and his friends have made it safely into Miss Simone's world. As shapeshifters, some of them are looking forward to meeting their alternate kind. But others dread the prospect.

Dewey, for instance, quickly feels the pressure of being a centaur. Meanwhile, Lauren and Hal are quaking in their shoes. The village in the north is under constant attack from harpies and dragons, and these vicious creatures must somehow be reasoned with and persuaded not to plunder and steal, and most importantly, not to eat humans! The trouble is, neither harpies nor dragons are interested in negotiating.

Hal and his friends join forces to deal with these serious issues. They end up in the heart of dragon country, down in the Labyrinth of Fire beneath an oozing volcano. Somehow they must make the dragons see the error of their ways. Their quest forces them to question the extent of their shapeshifting abilities... and this leads to a shocking discovery that is likely to start a war.

Book 3: Mountain of Whispers

Hal and his friends weren't looking for another adventure, but this was a mission they couldn't ignore.

Whisper Mountain gets its name from the frequent cries of ghosts echoing down its slopes, the souls of victims who have run afoul of the demon. Who in their right mind would venture into the deserted elfin temple? But, according to a crazy old soothsayer, the mountain is the "key to everything."

Miss Simone agrees that the mountain is worth investigating, but has more immediate problems to deal with: a squad of soldiers from Hal's old world has been spotted coming through the 'hole' in the labyrinth. Will this lead to a friendly integration of virus survivors, or an industrialized, technologically advanced human invasion that threatens the land forever?

The shapeshifters set off to the mountain, hoping all this talk of demons and ghosts is just superstitious nonsense. What they find there surprises everybody...

**Review

** "I loved this novel; it starts interesting, develops tension, and concludes with reasonable explanations that relate to the whole world... Realistic within its framework and hard-hitting physically and emotionally... I recommend this as I did the other two: read them with your children."—New York Times Bestselling Fantasy Author Piers Anthony
