Good or evil — which is more powerful? Ben Scott, a reasonably typical American teen, unwittingly steps across a dimensional boundary into a magical world. There he meets Mizli, a lovely and exotically dusky young sprite and finds himself thrust suddenly into the middle of a deadly contest for supremacy between light and dark magic. Telling him that he is in the world of Bespri, Mizli explains that Bespri's Oracle has prophesied that magic is going to be turned toward the light magic of her country, Caldae, and away from the dark realm of Feyr. Before he can absorb this mind-bending information, Ben is captured by agents of Feyr and taken to their powerful and charismatic Emperor who gives Ben an entirely different picture of the rivalry between the two realms. After a series of magical adventures in Feyr, Mizli's Camelot-like Caldae, and Earth, time runs out, and Ben must make a choice that will have a profound effect on the land of magic and his own family as well.

After his whirlwind summer adventures in Bespri, Ben is happy to settle down with his new family, but he isn’t looking forward to going to Sprucevale’s high school, where no one would believe him if he revealed how he spent the summer. Also, there are signs that Emperor Kantab, far from giving up, is hatching new schemes that might endanger Ben and his family as well as Caldae. However, the valiant Guardian Fellows, whose mastery of magic enabled them to defeat the superior force of the Feyren army and the Imperial Dragoons in the summer accept Ben and into the famed Guardian Academy, where they find the training to be just as tough and thorough as it is reputed to be. As the only Earthan in their class, Ben struggles with the magic training but manages to do better than he expected—until a disastrous final test. Returning home with a heavy heart, he discovers that the Feyrens have finally struck.

Finally, Emperor Kantab’s schemes have been thwarted in both Ben’s and Mizli’s worlds. With relief, the teens settle down to concentrate on their Guardian training as they begin their postgraduate term at the Academy. However, they have barely started the term when they learn that the wily Emperor is hatching an even more sinister plot to regain dominance. This both complicates and accelerates the Academy's already intense advanced training for them, and keeps them too busy to do any sleuthing for clues to what Kantab up to. When, at last, they get the opportunity to investigate, they daringly try walking through a mysterious portal and find themselves lost in a mind-warping Vortex of Magic. They race through a bewildering time maze to unravel the Emperor’s diabolically clever plan prevent him from restoring Feyr’s dominance of magic and spreading Feyr’s fearful rule over all of Bespri and Earth.

I was surprised by how progressive she was and how she viewed America. In a world torn apart by race and death, Tishi paints a unique picture of post-war life and how it shaped this particular German woman into a modern American feminist, a passionate wife and a fiercely loving mother.

We are the makers of subcultures. Of all our communities, where are we the happiest?A Southern journalist, Dianne Poston Owens has learned a thing of two about people and community—that people want to know their lives matter, their pets won’t rat them out, and that they are not alone. As an observer and recorder of people, places and things, she understands that every day is a new day, and each day is played out in tandem and in gathering. Gathering: Homespun Essays from Beech Tree Lane is a collection of short essays intended to be read for inspiration and encouragement. Owens poses questions and offers photographs that allow readers the opportunity to reflect and pause before forging ahead. Written with charming wit, Southern twang and a deepness that is drawn out by nature, Owens explores what we see, say, and choose, and how we connect to the people we interact with in the “communities” in which we gather.
