The Stone of Valhalla

by Mikey Brooks

Overview

Breaking into an old lady’s basement was supposed to reward Aaron with new friends. Instead he finds an enchanted amulet that transports him to another world—one at war with magic. Before he knows it, he is accused of witchcraft and forced to attend a bonfire—where he’s the main attraction. If that’s not bad enough, a goblin army shows up and toasts the town...literally. The good news: Aaron escapes being charbroiled. The bad news: the goblins are after him. They want his amulet and will stop at nothing to get it. Battling to find his way home, Aaron teams up with a not-so-magical-wizard and learns it’s his fate to destroy the amulet and save this new world. But is he willing to sacrifice his own?

About the Author

Mikey Brooks is a small child masquerading as an adult. On occasion you'll catch him dancing the funky chicken, singing like a banshee, and pretending to have never grown up. He is the author/illustrator of several books including the best-selling ABC Adventures: Magical Creatures and Bean's Dragons as well as the middle-grade fantasy-adventure series The Dream Keeper Chronicles. His art can be seen in many forms from picture books to full room murals. He loves to daydream with his three daughters and explore the worlds that only the imagination of children can create. Mikey has a BS degree in English from Utah State University and works fulltime as a freelance illustrator and cover designer. As a member of the Emblazoners, he is one of many authors de-voted to 'writing stories on the hearts of children' (emblazoners.com). He is also one of the hosts of the Authors' Think Tank Podcast (foreverwriters.com). You can find more about him and his books at:insidemikeysworld.com

Editorial Reviews

"A riveting mystery revealing true friendship, loyalty and sacrifice.
Brooks engages the curiosity of middle graders and older sleuths alike, until the very end. Fantastic!"
-L.R.W. Lee, author of The Andy Smithson series.

"Brooks doesn't just create a world, he puts you inside of it,
allowing you to experience the wonder in a way that only he can.
His twists leave you asking 'Why?'
This is a book that you will not be able to put down!"
-J.R. Simmons, author of the Ragesong series.

"Magic, sword fights, danger, and more danger,
sprinkled with humor and unexpected twists.
This is one of the 'best' fantasy adventures I've ever experienced!"
-BBH McChiller, author of The Monster Moon Series

"An epic adventure I'd put side-by-side with names like
Spiderwick and Fablehaven."
