About The Invisible College Trilogy
Emily and Peter discover their arrival in Templewood is no accident. The village is home to a mysterious Sect that believes Peter holds the key to unlocking an ancient prophecy that will provide them with the information they seek to enable them to carry out their plan. Emily and Peter find themselves in a race to solve the mystery and defeat the Sect.
The storyline contains many elements to engage and excite the reader: a secret location, the mysterious Sect, a conspiracy, a prophecy based on real ancient myths and legends, a book of arcane knowledge (of which one key volume is missing), the quest for hidden knowledge and treasure, an apocalyptic event and hints of the supernatural.

Joanne Smith

Well you shouldn’t judge a book by its cover, but I am, and these covers are gorgeous!
It’s good for both an adult and a child to read the same book then discuss it afterwards to help the child with literature skills.
My daughter is a bit of a bookworm and recently got told in school that she had read more words this year than any one else in the entire school. She is always looking to discover new authors.
