Whirling sand ghosts, deadly potions, and a furious firebird ... the adventure continues


EMERALD CHILD

A hidden island. A forgotten child. A kingdom ruled by fear.

Since ancient times, the Kalika people have claimed a mystical connection with the earth and the nature spirits. But their knowledge is fading. Now an evil sorcerer threatens the land, and the only person who can help the Kalika is a child who doesn't know they exist.

The first book in this enchanting fantasy series by Australian author, Karen Hughes, is a captivating adventure in which two unlikely friends encounter forgotten magic, hidden islands, secret caves and bad-tempered tree spirits. Perfect for kids aged 8-12.

"Hughes has done a brilliant job crafting a story that no doubt will capture young fantasy lovers and their parents alike."

THE SHAMAN'S SECRET

An ancient magic. A broken land. A journey beyond this world.

In the second book in the popular Kalika Magic series, Kai and Indie must leave the forest to find the missing king. As the Emperor of Moto gathers his great army in the south and the Dasa warriors prepare for battle, Kai and Indie search for the shaman who will help them on their quest. But the magic of the mountains is different to the magic of the forest. The only way Kai and Indie can succeed is if they make the perilous journey to the spirit realm to find their power animals.

Can they trust the shaman? And will they discover the secret of the mountains, before it's too late?
