"A strong . . . new trilogy, invoking just a little Harry Potter and Series of Unfortunate Events along the way."—Realms of Fantasy
Siblings Kate, Michael, and Emma have been in one orphanage after another for the last ten years, passed along like lost baggage.
Yet these unwanted children are more remarkable than they could possibly imagine. Ripped from their parents as babies, they are being protected from a horrible evil of devastating power, an evil they know nothing about.
Until now.
Before long, Kate, Michael, and Emma are on a journey through time to dangerous and secret corners of the world . . . a journey of allies and enemies, of magic and mayhem. And—if an ancient prophesy is true—what they do can change history, and it's up to them to set things right.

"Echoes of other popular fantasy series, from "Harry Potter" to the "Narnia" books, are easily found, but debut author Stephens has created a new and appealing read . . ."—School Library Journal, Starred Review

The Emerald Atlas was an amazing book. It kept me going and was fast pacing. I really enjoyed the characters, siblings named Kate, Michael, and Emma. They have been traveling orphanage to orphanages to the last 10 years, after the death of their parents. It was very suspenseful and magical. They found out a wizard and became to learn many things through this life and death situations. It had me going and was very mysterious and adventurous. I hope to read more of this series.
