The Forgotten Worlds Book 1: The Emerald Tablet
Benjamin and his best friend Andy are different from normal.
They love being able to read each other's minds and use telekinesis to
play tricks on other kids. In fact, they are getting all set to spend
their entire summer doing just that when Benjamin's mirror starts talking.
Suddenly, Benjamin's looking at eight weeks of summer school someplace
which can only be reached by a teleporter inside the ugly picture in his hallway.
And that's the most normal thing he does all summer.
The Emerald Tablet has been selected for the TriState Books of Note List (NJ, DE, PA) and will be included in the Pennsylvania State Librarians Association Conference in May 2009.

"I enjoyed it as an adult, but I know that I would have adored it as an 11-year-old. In truth,
ever since I finished it, The Emerald Tablet
has been popping back into my head, as I wonder what's going
to happen to Benjamin and his friends going forward. Highly recommended for later elementary and
middle school readers, boys and girls, fans of traditional fantasy or not."

"I loved every minute that I was reading it, and I feel like I want to reread the book
over and over again. ... While reading the book I kept thinking that in a way it was
almost like a myth that was being told and how cool it would be if it was actually true...
Fans of Rick Riordan’s PERCY JACKSON series will particularly enjoy this book."

different from Harry's"
