About the Book

The twins' Storm and Skye Droydel escape from an orphanage. They are on a quest to find their mother who mysteriously disappeared and their Halfelven father. They mistakenly board a magical ship manned by the International Wizardry Committee (IWC). Captain Neutrinos Nimbo commands the IWC which is on a mission to find the lost Island Reverie on planet Magician - the Island has disappeared along with the Galaxy's top Twenty Wizards. While traveling, the children meet the crew; Juckzy the Metamorphic Giant - in charge of the Weapons; Swino the Sidhe Mathematician: Zorlo the Celtic Elf and ship's Engineer; Thembi - the African Psychic; and Doctor Qyasha the Elven in charge of the Medical Rooms.

In the first adventure, the children discover new creatures (like the child-trading Slaviers) and fantastical lands (like the floating Marketplace Island Nonna) across galaxies in a modern-day story of adventure and magic. Join them as they discover the power of their rings and the power of their magic!

"THE LOST ISLAND OF MAGICON" is a brilliant induction into the world of fiction and fantasy for the avid reader!

Excerpts

Then the wizards' ship tossed about madly as two Mirkseemen joined efforts to direct an Energy-stir at them. Juckzy shot a bolt of lightning across at the pirate ship in an attempt to distract the pirates that were on board their ship. The lightning blasted a quarter of the pirate ship away.
Screams of fury could be heard from Captain Morgan. In an instant, his ship was glued with green slimy streamers, which kept it buoyant. In an attempt to sink the IWC, large cannon-balls were being blasted from the pirate ship. Swino was already diverting the cannon-balls back towards the pirate ship with his finger wand.
As the attacks continued, Zeuroida Zorto and Snibbo Snorkey emerged on deck. Snibbo directed his finger wand at the sky and a mass of clouds gathered over the pirate ship. Unfortunately, the clouds also loomed over the IWC so that when the clouds sent out a torrent of rain, both ships became victims to the heave of the sea. Neutrinos shouted to Snibbo,
"LIMIT THE CLOUDING OR ELSE WE'RE ALL GOING TO DROWN!" Snibbo repeatedly flung his hand upwards trying to call on another Clouding command.
"I...I can't seem to stop any of the Clouding. Something's gone wrong!"
