They want me to read with them, and theyā€™ve been asking me to read nothing but fantasy for years. Now I can say itā€™s my second favorite genre. In fact, I learned to like it so much I eventually started writing a childrenā€™s fantasy series of my own, in between all the mushy stuff. Beyond Wisherton is the first in that series.

Amanda Hamm Why did Amanda love this book?

Fablehaven is this authorā€™s most popular series, but Sky Raiders begins my favorite. Cole is a somewhat unwilling hero. He is frequently terrified or overwhelmed by the difficult situations heā€™s in, yet he just canā€™t help but do the next right thing each time itā€™s presented.
