First, The Conjurer

by Mary Locke Jolley

Overview

ELLIE KENWORTHY has accepted her fate as the nerdy middle school loner who practices enchanting in secret. Then a mystic scientist called the Alchemist changes everything when she kidnaps their cousin, Abe. While their parents search for Abe, Ellie and her older brother Liam flee to the safety of Enchanted Gorge Ranch.

The ranch is full of strange mysteries, like wicked weeds that love to trip passersby, and a raccoon with a peculiar love for the grouchy cowboy, Crowley.

But while the ranch is fun to explore, there is no time to mess around. Because of the Alchemist's actions, Liam is in danger of explosive magical overload. Not only that, the ranch is full of people keeping secrets. Even Enchanted Gorge Ranch might not be safe from the Alchemist.

Readers who enjoyed Fablehaven and Amari and the Night Brothers are sure to love this twisting tale of courage, family, and magic of epic proportions.
