The Stone of Mordim D J Edmiston

A Reluctant superZero... Nicholas Biehl never wanted to be a hero. A hero wouldn't flee from the accolades of adoring classmates. Nor would he avoid the traumas of a dying mother and disapproving father. But when Fantasticademy, a school for children in danger of losing their creative spirit, is invaded by hybrid monsters from a dimension of darkness, the school's destiny rests in the hands of its wimpy "puddle-glop King." Despite the help of a perky froshling, sarcastic peddler, and old friends, Nicholas yearns for the days when he can once again Avoid Everyone. But fate won't let him get away without a fight...


An exciting and poignant fantasy-adventure for ages 9-12 (or anyone who's awesome), The Stone of Mordim is inspired by the classics of pre-adolescent portal fiction. With a plot that details courage in the face of mysterious dangers, its heart celebrates the resilience of family and the powers of friendship. Perfect for family read-alongs, classroom discussion, middle-grade book clubs, or fun escapism. The adventure continues here!
