Inkheart follows Meggie and her father, a bookbinder named Mo.

This is the first book in the Inkworld series.

Midnight for Charlie Bone follows young Charlie Bone who, despite being certain he’s just a normal kid, discovers—that like other people descended from the mysterious Red King—he has been endowed with a magical gift, which leads him to Bloor’s Academy where not all is good, especially not the Bloor family. This is the first book in the Children of the Red King.

The Witch Boy is a story about thirteen-year-old Aster and the expectations he must fulfill. In his family, boys grow up to be shapeshifters while girls grow up to be witches. The problem? Aster has no skill in shapeshifting and lots of interest in witchery. This is the first book in the Witch Boy series.

The Serpent’s Secret is about Kiranmala Ray as she finds herself thrown into a whole new world after her twelfth birthday goes sour. Her parents are missing. Demons are after her.
