Dragon's Green

It's been years since the Worldquake, a global disaster that sent the entire planet back to the analog age. Effie's mother has been missing since the quake, and her father doesn't seem to care about much besides his job, his new wife, and the new baby.

Effie has been spending a lot of time with her grandfather and trying to get him to teach her about magic.  He only talks in riddles when she asks him questions.  She is devastated when her grandfather dies after an attack.

She inherits his library along with a handful of magic objects and the exhortation to find Dragon's Green.  In the midst of her sadness, she attempts to follow his wishes with the help of some new friends.  Maximillian has spent his life studying magic and is geeking out over the opportunity to participate in a real quest.  Wolf is a star athlete born to wield a magical weapon.  Lexie was born into the world of magic, and Raven wants nothing more than to be a real witch.

These unlikely friends will have to rescue her grandfather's library and discover the secret of Dragon's Green.

Scarlett Thomas's series opener is a fun and original story of magic and adventure where books have real power.  Fantasy fans will love it!
