Author
Ewan Zane and Ganix--three half-brothers take sibling rivalry to new lengths as they race each other across their homeland.Magic isnt the only legacy Mr. Ian Johns wants for his bickering sons. The Postmaster hoped the boys would bond during a family trip but they twist his vacation plans into a race. Ewan Zane and Ganix soon find themselves far from home facing choices that are far from easy. Three routes stretch from coast to coast. The rules: each brother--and his two companions--must check in at post offices along their route. At these waypoints they stamp in with their personal seal and report their progress by postcard. Zane can hardly wait to veer into uncharted territory. They say that people living along the edges of the Wilds are half-wild themselves so he fits right in. As they enter the eerie landscape known as The Graves Brielle learns that roads can be ignored legends can be real and storms can stir up magic. But odder things await Zane Jovan and Bree at their next waypoint where the whole town wants to throw them a tea party.Welcome to Liberty: Big cities and hill-country outposts thrive on busy byways but people are scarce in the Wilds where mythical creatures are alive and well. Folks commonly use lanterns to light their homes and peace is kept by rangers on horseback. In the Byways books readers will encounter dragons griffins river monsters and rogue magicians. Magic is a rare trait that runs in families. Some magical gifts are quite useful; others are downright quirky. Like the talent inherited by members of the Johns family. Theyre Changers who can take the form of an animal. Not that magic will make winning the race any easier for Ewan Zane and Ganix.Educational Twist: Each of the Byways books is tied to one of the fifty states and borrows from its history and geography--icons mottos landmarks people places and famous firsts. Theyre hidden throughout the story turning the series into one long game of hide-and-seek. At the end of each Byways book theres a master list that covers everything from the state tree to the state insect. Nicknames sports teams state heroes and national parks also find their way into the story. States are covered in order of ratification. Into the Hills takes its cues from The Pilgrim State Massachusetts.Chart your course to CJMilbrandt.com where readers can stamp into the Waypoint Log and take part in a very special Hometown Challenge.Excerpt: Cups rained down spattering hot coffee as they shattered against the floor. Jovan kept half an eye on the men whod ganged up on Zane. Shouldnt we help him? asked Bree who gripped a broken chair leg like a club. Please dont. Jovan made it to her side and sat next to her. Were you hurt? Im fine but what about Zane? Cant you call him off or something? Its too late for that. Pushing up his glasses Jovan calmly explained Zane always finishes what he starts.
