The Crowns of Croswald: A Magical Fantasy Adventure for Tweens and Teens Ages 9-13, Grades 4-7 (Croswald Series Book 1)

For those who wish that Narnia, Harry Potter, and Alice in Wonderland could go on forever, the best-selling Croswald series opens up a whole new world of magic!
In this series opener, Ivy believes she is the only unmagical creature in a rich fantasy world, where gems are rife with power, quills cast spells, and dragons fill the sky. She must step into wonderland, discover her power at a magical academy, and find out who she truly is before it’s too late.

As far back as Ivy can remember, she has worked in the Castle Plum’s kitchen as a scaldrony maid, tending the petite kitchen dragons that cook tarts and stews and roasts. On full moon nights, she meets her one connection to the outside world: Rimbrick the ancient dwarf with a dodgy past who brings tales of magic and books of wisdom.
