About the Author

During his middle school years, Braden Bell was the least-stable, lowest-achieving student in the history of the world. He shocked every former teacher by graduating from high school and college, and then going on to earn both a Master’s degree as well as a Ph.D. A teacher by day and a parent by night, he is around teenagers 24/7. He teaches music and directs plays at a private school, much like Marion Academy in The Middle School Magic series. Whether he fights evil after hours is something he cannot disclose.

Braden Bell holds degrees in theatre from Brigham Young University and a Ph.D. from NYU. A committed educator, he has been directing plays and teaching school now for over twenty years. Braden lives with his family on a quiet, tree-lined lot outside of Nashville, TN, where he teaches theatre and choir at a middle school. The author of The Road Show, The Kindling, and Penumbras.

Oh I really, really, really like this series! And so will you!
Fun, magic, mystery, danger, darkness, goodness, light, friendship, action and adventure...it's all in there! And OH. SO. GOOD! I couldn't put it down!
Just as good as the first book!

You can read my review of book one, The Kindling, HERE

Now take a look at book two, Penumbras, that place between light and dark.

Lexa, Conner and Melanie have survived their 'Kindling' and the attack from the evil Lady Nightwing.

But when Conner starts to hear the 'shadows', and starts to shoot black light from his fingers, the truth about the Shadowbox that kept him captive must be revealed.

And their training must be increased!

Go with them as they travel to the 'Sanctuary' where friendships will be increased AND tested, where magic will improve and where something tragic will end their season together...

OR DOES IT?

There better be a book THREE!
