Rich with wonder and personality, The Emerald Atlas is a terrific read. I wholeheartedly recommend it, and look forward to more.

Starred Review, School Library Journal, June 2011:
"A strong … trilogy, invoking just a little Harry Potter and Series of Unfortunate Events along the way."—Realms of Fantasy

Siblings Kate, Michael, and Emma have been in one orphanage after another for the last ten years, passed along like lost baggage.
 
Yet these unwanted children are more remarkable than they could possibly imagine. Ripped from their parents as babies, they are being protected from a horrible evil of devastating power, an evil they know nothing about.
 
Until now.
 
Before long, Kate, Michael, and Emma are on a journey through time to dangerous and secret corners of the world … a journey of allies and enemies, of magic and mayhem. And—if an ancient prophesy is true—what they do can change history, and it's up to them to set things right.


"A new Narnia for the tween set."—The New York Times

"[A] fast-paced, fully imagined fantasy."—Publishers Weekly

"Echoes of other popular fantasy series, from "Harry Potter" to the "Narnia" books, are easily found, but debut author Stephens has created a new and appealing read …"—School Library Journal, Starred Review

    Best Story I've Come Across

    Three orphaned children are faced with retrieving three books that are all-powerful. The good guys are good, and the bad guys are really bad! No gore, but the evil they commit is powerful. The creativity in this story is amazing. There are few authors who can build suspense and an intriguing plot like John Stephens. I listened to all the audio books of Harry Potter, just loving it, and this story is the only one I've found that can hold my attention like Potter did. And what can you say about Jim Dale?! He's a genius!
