Rise of the Redeemed
(Fantasticademy Book 5)
When the Quest for Truth Means the End of Humanity...

After hordes of zombified souls invade Lumintasia, intrepid 12-year-old reporter Leaky McCreaky seeks the Scoop of the Millennium--a confrontation with Kalijin, the fallen angel orchestrating the destruction. While his ragtag friends embark on a desperate mission to thwart Kalijin's plans once and for all, Leaky hunts for secrets, knowing he is a witness to history and not the headliner. But in the ultimate battle for the literal souls of humanity, is hiding in the shadows a luxury the idealistic journalist can afford? Or will Leaky sacrifice his lifelong dream--and himself--to become a hero in the story he only wished to expose?

Uncover the truth in this thrilling and poignant final chapter to the Fantasticademy series. COMING SOON!

Book 1:
Beyond the Shadow Wall
You Are What You Dream...
Rose and Helena Montgomery love nothing more than to play creative games with their father.  But one night, the light goes out from his eyes, and he mysteriously abandons them.  Distraught, the girls numb their grief with mindless television shows about saltine crackers and offensive cartoon porcupines.  But soon an invitation arrives from Fantasticademy, a fantasy school where children at risk of losing their creative spirit can train to become anything their imagination allows - superheroes, princesses, even vice principals if they're unlikable enough.

​​It is just what the girls need, far more interesting than crackers and rodents.  But after exploring the school and making friends and enemies alike, the girls make a startling discovery.  Their father's soul has been kidnapped by a fallen angel with a taste for soul-banana smoothies.  They must now test the biggest lesson of Fantasticademy - that nothing is impossible - to save him.

But when Fantasticademy is invaded by hybrid monsters from Mordim, the school's destiny rests in the hands of its wimpy "puddle-glop King." Despite the help of a perky froshling, sarcastic peddler, and old friends, Nicholas years for the days when he can once again Avoid Everyone. But fate won't let him go without a fight...
