Out the window they flew, far up into the sky, and soon the whole
family was flying around and around together. Every Saturday
morning the Gregg family goes off to shoot animals and birds. But
the girl who lives next door hates hunting. Now it's made her so
angry that she's PUT THE MAGIC FINGER ON THEM ALL. And very strange
things have begun to happen . . .
The second book in a thrilling, magical, and action-packed new
fantasy series, illustrated throughout and perfect for 7 - 9 year
olds! In the land of Draconis, there are no dragons. Once, there
were. Once, humans and dragons were friends, and created the great
city of Rivven together. But then came the Dragon Storm, and the
dragons retreated from the world of humans. To the men and women of
Draconis, they became legends and myth. Cara has spent her life on
the streets, relying on her wits - and a mysterious voice that
seemed to live inside her head - for survival. She's amazed when
she learns that the voice actually belongs to a dragon - her dragon
- and she's invited to join a hidden society, the Dragonseer Guild,
for those who can summon their own dragon. But Cara isn't used to
having friends, and so when she and her dragon Silverthief uncover
a dangerous secret, they must decide who they can trust... and
their lives will depend on it. An exciting new fantasy series from
the highly acclaimed author of Orion Lost, brilliantly illustrated
throughout, and perfect for fans of Beast Quest and How to Train
your Dragon.

New York Times bestselling author Kazu Kibuishi says of Lightfall:
"Beautifully drawn. Tim Probert has created a world readers will
want to visit." For fans of Amulet and middle grade readers who
love sweeping worlds like Star Wars, the first book of the
Lightfall series introduces Bea and Cad, two unlikely friends who
get swept up in an epic quest to save their world from falling into
eternal darkness. Deep in the heart of the planet Irpa stands the
Salty Pig's House of Tonics & Tinctures, home of the wise Pig
Wizard and his adopted granddaughter, Bea. As keepers of the
Endless Flame, they live a quiet and peaceful life, crafting
medicines and potions for the people of their once-prosperous
world. All that changes one day when, while walking through the
woods, Bea meets Cad, a member of the Galdurians, an ancient race
thought to be long-extinct. Cad believes that if anyone can help
him find his missing people, it's the Pig Wizard. But when the two
arrive home, the Pig Wizard is nowhere to be found-all that's left
is the Jar of Endless Flame and a mysterious note. Fearing for the
Pig Wizard's safety, Bea and Cad set out across Irpa to find him,
while danger fights its way out of the shadows and into the light.
Will these two unexpected friends find the beloved Pig Wizard and
prevent eternal darkness from blanketing their world? Or has Irpa
truly seen its last sunrise? Praise for Lightfall Kirkus Best Books
