The Hunt for the Hollower

When her twin brother Percy disappears through a portal and straight into the clutches of the magic-stealing, mythical Hollower, Merlynda and a colorful cast of characters embark on a quest to rescue him, a challenge that requires her to discover and embrace her true powers. Simultaneous eBook.
Everyone in his family assumes Percy is the Septimum Genus their ancestor Merlyn prophesized, but when he attempts a forbidden spell with his twin Merlynda and vanishes through a portal, it is Merlynda who sets off to rescue her brother and discovers hertrue powers.
In this riff on Arthurian legend, a wizardess who is still mastering her powers goes on an epic quest to save her brother from an evil wizard in this middle grade magical adventure perfect for fans of Adam Gidwitz and Amanda Foody! The great wizard Merlyn prophesized that his seventh descendant would do wonderful, miraculous things baffling everyone when his great-great-many-times-great grandchild turns out to be twins. Soon enough, however, it becomes clear which sibling is the Septimum Genus: Percy is a natural with magic. Merlynda (to put it simply) is not. But Merlynda doesn’t mind. Percy has always been by her side to cheer her up (and clean up) after her magical bungles until the twins attempt a forbidden spell to help her control her magic, and Percy vanishes through a portal and straight into the clutches of the magic-stealing, mythical Hollower. Aided by her best friend (who longs to be a knight), a wandering musician (who is fleeing from his past), and her brand-new, fierce familiar (who yearns for a taste of funnel cake), Merlynda sets off on a quest to rescue her brother. But to defeat this ancient evil, she must discover and embrace her true powers or else lose her brother for good.
