Books with author Rick Just

Until he was 13, Gerrald did not know there was a planet called Kimyra. He had not met a walacatoon, a scraler or even a ribek. Then one day he went after a cat in a cave and his life changed forever. The skinny kid was suddenly the leader of alien trekkers on a quest to steal the eyes of a dragon. Had he signed up for this? There were too many weird things to count. The top of the weird list was that everyone insisted on calling him Jarrett. And Jarrett would soon discover there was something more powerful than magic, myth or mysticism—and only he knew its name.

Sam expected a new phone for her birthday. Instead, she got an old leather diary that was supposed to be some kind of heirloom. So, she wrote something snarky in it about the really, really great gift and tossed it aside. What was even the point of all those blank pages and no keyboard? Later, she noticed someone else was writing in the diary every day. First, she thought it was her dad, who gave her the awesome gift in the first place. He was playing a trick on her and pretending to be some girl from a hundred years ago. Like she was going to believe that? Then one night she happened to see words forming across the page one letter at a time and the next thing she knew she was standing on top of her bed like rug sharks were circling below and she so had to text Hailey if she could just stop biting her fingers.

Trapped! What good is being Grand Wizard of Kimyra if you can never go home again? Kat is determined to get back to Earth. Jarrett is determined to bring her back. But who will rescue whom? The Wizards Trilogy wraps up with a dragon-riding, planet-hopping adventure that brings together all the trekkers in one last struggle for control of Kimyra, and maybe even the galaxy.

Kat believed. She believed in a planet called Kimyra where dragons skimmed the skies and wallacatoons whirled along the ground on three legs. She believed it because her father said his stories were true. Then, when Kat was almost a teenager, she began to doubt it all. That's when the ribek showed up, looking for her dad. Kat wanted her own adventure, so she convinced the alien her dad was dead, but she was just as capable of fighting dragons and wizards as he was. Now she had to prove it.
