About The Lost Spells: A blind witch named Vira haunts 12-year-old Karl’s new home with deadly intentions. Though by fate, Karl discovers Vira’s spell book and turns the spells against her. If only she’d have left Karl and his family alone.
The haunting starts when Karl and his family move from their lush mansion in San Francisco to a broken-down ranch house outside of Tucson, Arizona. Karl grasps the potency of Vira’s power when he meets a talking spider named Mary. She’s a victim of the ghost witch, and has been trapped in a spider body for more than a hundred years.
Mary leads Karl to a conquistador treasure deep in the canyon behind his home. Vira steps up her attacks and captures Karl’s family.
With Mary’s help, Karl is able to decipher the lost spell book and save his parents. He then returns Mary to her human body and sends her back in time so that she may live her life.
This touching tale comes alive with brilliant illustrations and interactive extras scattered on the page borders throughout. Unlike the popular vampire and paranormal young adult genre on the shelves, Karl’s story is uplifting and inspiring, depicting how an awkward pre-teen can succeed and come into his own by fighting off fears and building self-esteem through the aid of others.

Conjure Wars
Written by: Anderson Atlas
Illustrated by: Brad Peterson
Jack is a lucid dreamer so powerful that the real world seems boring and disappointing. When violence erupts city wide, everything changes. The police are helpless as mob attacks intensify. The National Guard quarantines the city. The CDC is helpless.
From his treehouse window, Jack watches a mob trash and burn the house across the street. One looks in his direction.
Jack whips himself away from the window, but was seen. The floor hatch is repeatedly attacked. Next to Jack, in seemingly thin air, two bickering voices argue about who’s going to take down the attacker and save Jack. Hearing the voices makes Jack feel like he, too, is going crazy.
The voices explain that they are conjures, which are creatures born from magical spells. They’re fighting dark conjures who are possessing people—which was a tactic used four millennia ago, during the first conjure war.
Jack’s persuaded to flee to Kasmham, a bustling underground conjure city. There he learns his potential is a beacon in the dark world of magic and if the elder magician is correct, Jack’s the only one that can save the world.
Meanwhile, on the surface, the dark conjures are relentless. Jack and his new allies retaliate. A new conjure war begins. If they fail, dark conjures will enslave the world. A world that is worth fighting for.
CONJURE WARS is a 108,000 word novel that highlights the similarities between magic and technology and forces Jack to find strength where he thought none existed.
