YOUNG ADULT NOVELS Ages 13 and up
Thanks to a muffled spell, mis-cast by Cam, Wizard Melikar's apprentice, Princess Quinn travels from the underground kingdom of Mandria to outer earth by way of an enchanted wishing pool.
But where is Cam? This was supposed to be an adventure for both. The princess was never supposed to travel from medieval times to this strange 21st century world alone.
What have I done? Will I ever see my kingdom again? Published by Scholastic. Updated edition published by Lerner/Darby Creek. Link to come.
Cam has been the wizard's apprentice for as long as he can remember, but he knows nothing about his own birth or childhood. When a cocky young lad shows up to replace Cam as Melikar's "true apprentice," Cam is determined to learn the truth about his past so he can find his future. Unfortunately, while he's away on his mission, Princess Quinn—his princess—must choose a husband. Without Quinn in his life, Cam faces a hidden past and a heartache of a future. Yet what his quest reveals turns out to be more startling than he could ever have predicted. It's a Mandrian Truth.
