In the second book in this page-turning series, Tag, Skyla, and Blaze journey to the Crystal Caverns. They are searching for a piece of the magical Ember Stone. But they do not know exactly where it is, and they are not the only ones searching for it . . . The powerful vulture Thorn is also after the stone -- and after Blaze! Thorn's dark magic is quickly spreading across Perodia, so the friends must move fast to reach the stone!

Media Reviews
Praise for The Last Firehawk #1: The Ember Stone

The first book in this new series brings the animal fantasy genre to early chapter book readers.... The adventure is nonstop, making this an ideal choice for reluctant readers.... Detailed black-and-white illustrations blend well with the text, and will keep kids engaged. VERDICT: A strong beginning to an adventure series for chapter book readers, especially those who are not quite ready for Erin Hunter's 'Warriors' or Kathryn Lasky's 'Guardians of Ga'Hoole.' -- School Library Journal

A promising start to a series for fledgling fantasy readers. -- Kirkus Reviews


Praise for Branches books:

These books should be considered for larger libraries wanting to enhance their easy-reader collections. -- School Library Journal

A nice stepping stone to more advanced chapter books. -- Booklist
