Books with author Judy Pedersen

Buried deep within the desert, Turtle Springs holds secrets – far more than Keegan Crowe bargains for when she returns in search of her elusive past. The fourteen-year-old orphan discovers that her parents were members of a mysterious society dedicated to preserving lost magic – a group destroyed for its knowledge and powers. The ancient elements are at war, and time grows short. A legendary treasure must be found if the world is to be saved, and Keegan now holds the key. But the savvy young hacker rejects her family’s legacy. With steely-eyed skepticism, she undertakes a quest to avenge her parents while challenging the outlandish claims. Keegan soon finds, however, that reality holds more than meets the eye. Digging for answers, the teen stumbles upon the deepest riddle of the town and her identity. And from the ruins of lost civilizations to the halls of the nation’s capital, her fate becomes embroiled in a life-or-death struggle against a sinister threat hidden in a world brimming with mystical powers, fabled creatures, enchanted objects, and the never-ending battle between good and evil.
