Return to the world of the Callers in this exciting middle-grade fantasy series that explores the amazing power of summoning objects into being and the ominous consequences of doing so. Perfect for fans of Rick Riordan.The Callers, Book 1 set the stage for a riveting series that introduced the world of Elipsom and its inhabitants' unique ability to Call--or summon.

In Book 2, a month has passed since Quin fled his home world of Elipsom after revealing the shocking truth about Calling: that the magic ability to conjure something out of thin air actually steals resources from another place. And that other place is Evantra, a nation suffering from exploitation by the Callers. Across the country, rumors are spreading that perhaps Calling isn't a force for good after all. Even so, Quin's sister, Davinia, has maintained calm under the pressure of her mother, the Chief Counselor of the Callers, who is determined to keep the status quo and quash anyone who questions the rightness of Calling. But when Davinia is assigned to investigate and plant evidence in a rebellious part of the city, her loyalties begin to waver.

Meanwhile, Quin and his friend Allie are in a race against the clock to heal the Vine, the source of all growing things in Evantra, which has been slowly dying. Their search leads them to a mysterious forest that may have the answers they seek--and the truth about Quin's past.

Arresting and thought-provoking, this story explores some of the most crucial topics of our time and shows the power of standing up and fighting for a better tomorrow.SERIES PRAISE: Book 1 received a Sunshine State Young Readers Award (SSYRA) nomination and glowing praise, including a blurb from Printz-Honor-winning author Garret Weyr, who called it "beautifully told and engaging and just thrilling."

RICH THEMES: This series takes a deep, thoughtful look at complex and essential issues--including haves and have-nots, environmental exploitation, colonialism, truth, and social responsibility. In doing so, it takes after some of the best works the fantasy genre has to offer.

PAGE-TURNER: This easy-to-read, fast-paced page-turner will be a joy for middle-grade readers who love immersive adventure and fantasy stories.

DUAL POV BOOK: Alternating between the main character and his sister's narratives, The Callers: The Hidden Forest introduces new characters and new mysteries to unravel, along with Quin's continuing discovery of his powers.Perfect for:

Middle-grade fantasy and sci-fi readers
Teachers and librarians
Anyone interested in books with environmental themes
Readers looking for narratives told through multiple perspectives
Fans of Jeanne DuPrau's TheCity of Ember, Madeleine L'Engle's A Wrinkle in Time, or Lois Lowry's The Giver
