1837, London: as Queen Victoria ascends the throne, forty-six year old scientist and inventor Michael Faraday has a nervous breakdown. What we’ve been told by historians is Faraday pushed himself too hard and needed to recover. What really happened? He completed his greatest electromagnetic invention: The Faraday Mirror which changed the innovative genius' life. 1995, New Hampshire: two teenage brothers, Byron and Colton Oakes, discover the plans for Faraday's fabled mirror between an antique Victorian lithograph and its mildewed cardboard backing. They choose to ignore the famous inventor’s warning and journey from New Hampshire to Faerie in this epic tale of science, history, magic, and adventure. Only by uncovering the dark mysteries of their newfound world can Bryon and Colton hope to get home. Virginia writer and teacher, Scott Davis Howard, returns with the first volume in the "Faraday's Mirror" series. Fans of "Inkheart," "Percy Jackson," or "The Chronicles of Narnia" will find the Oakes brothers' tale a compelling journey full of imagination and adventure.
