The Wand Bearer Trilogy
Short, illustrated, mystical and mythical, The Crow's Story is the tale of the magical bird who leads the Circus Olympus performers toward their destiny at the end of Juggler in the Wind. The Crow will play a most important role in Star Road (2013), so get in on his story early. The Wand Bearer encounters Native American mythology. |
 A novel and math book at once, by Lucina Kathmann
The animal characters in a forest present negative numbers, Cartesian coordinates, exponents, fractions, decimals, and percents through "real-life" (of the forest) situations, worksheets included, and a wayward young dragon who is redeemed through math. For tweens, teens and imaginative adults. |
Juggler in the Wind, the first book of The Wand Bearer Trilogy, will be followed by Star Road and Otherworld. Written for teens and older by Wim Coleman and Pat Perrin. When gods grow old to the brink of death, Randy plays a role in their wondrous rebirth. And when he falls in love with an immortal goddess, he must journey into a realm dreaded by mortals everywhere. By the end of Randy’s quest, our very world will never be the same.
