Maximum Magic: The Infatuation Infection - Maximum Magic #3

Karleen Tauszik

Sinopsis

It’s the last semester before Will graduates from Oak Grove Elementary School and moves on the sixth grade and middle school. But after spring break, most of the fifth graders are crazy with crushes, including Will’s best friend, Josh. Love is in the air—even Grandma’s gone all googly-eyed over a guy! And is the rumor true that magician Max Goodman is dating Will’s teacher, Ms. Moon?
Will wants to steer clear of getting wrapped up in the classroom romances. He befriends the new kid, Stu, a foster child recently placed with a local family. Can the boys avoid the infatuation infection that’s spreading like a bad flu? Does love conquer all, or will magic have the upper hand? And can love or magic (or both) save Stu from returning to the Children’s Home?
In this contemporary adventure series, author Karleen Tauszik uses humor, tension and, of course, magic to create the perfect stories for middle grade readers.
THE INFATUATION INFECTION is the third and final book in the Maximum Magic series of chapter books for ages 9-12.
The Maximum Magic books are contemporary adventures written in under 20,000 words, with fast-moving chapters and best of all, magic!
NOTE TO PARENTS:
My goal as an author is to get your kids to LOVE reading as much as I did when I was their age...and as much as I still do! My husband is a professional magician. Based on the fascination I see children have with him and his tricks, I wrote the Maximum Magic series.
My promise to you: my Maximum Magic books are clean, with no offensive language, no sketchy innuendos, and with strong family units. I realize that our children are bombarded daily with messages we’d rather they didn’t learn (at least not at their young age). It happens, but I don’t believe it needs to happen in my books. My job is to have your children enjoy reading.
The Lexile levels for this series fall between 550 and 650.
The Categories for the Maximum Magic series are: Action & Adventure / Fantasy & Magic / Art, Music & Photography / Performing Arts / Literature & Fiction / Chapter Books / Intermediate Readers / Children’s Series

The Vengekeep Prophecies

Brian Farrey

Forget what you know about prophecies—this epic middle-grade fantasy about a clumsy boy born into a family of thieves is fresh, fun, and anything but predictable! The first in an unforgettable trilogy, this Kirkus Reviews Best Children's Book of the Year takes everything you thought you knew about fantasy and spins it into pure magic.Jaxter Grimjinx is a born thief. At least, he's supposed to be. For generations, the Grimjinx clan has produced the swiftest, cleverest thieves in Vengekeep. The problem is, Jaxter is clumsy. So clumsy that in his first solo heist, he sets the Castellan's house on fire and lands his family in prison. Even Jaxter's talent for breaking magical locks can't get them out of this bind.Then a suspiciously convenient prophecy emerges, naming the Grimjinx clan as the soon-to-be heroes of Vengekeep. It's good enough to get his family out of jail, but when the doomsday prophecy starts to come true, Jaxter is pretty sure a life behind bars would be a better fate. Now, with the help of his new friend, Callie, Jaxter will have to face down flaming monsters, a bazaar of thieves, and a renegade sorcerer to become the hero he was truly born to be.Full of twists and turns, friendship and adventure, The Vengekeep Prophecies is a "rich fantasy that hits the ground running and never lets up" (Publishers Weekly, starred review).
