My friend Braden Bell just came out with a great new contemporary fantasy called The Kindling. It's highly-imaginative and enjoyable from beginning to end. Here you can read all about it:
Homework? Of course.
Crushes? Sure. But who knew seventh grade included superpowers?
Loud shrieks sliced
the air, followed by the smell of burning cloth. Conner looked over in time to
see Geoffrey jumping up and down, yelling and shrieking. Smoke poured from the
seat of his shorts while blue and yellow sparks snap-crackle-and-popped all
around the heater.
All thirteen-year-old
Connor Dell wants to do is pass pre-algebra, play lacrosse, and possibly kiss
Melanie Stephens. He didn’t mean to set anyone’s gym shorts on fire or make
school lunches explode. But now that the strange powers inside him have been
ignited, Connor’s normal teenage life is about to go up in flames!
This fast-paced
novel is non-stop fun for kids and parents alike. With characters you can’t
help but root for, a plot that keeps you guessing, and plenty of humor, it’s a
guaranteed thrill ride from cover to cover!
