The Pennymores

When her brother vanishes in the night, along with all she thought to be true of magic, Parker Pennymore must unmask family secrets, travel far beyond the castle walls, and convince her sisters Quinn and Aven to break a few laws along the way—but what's a hero's journey without a little rebellion?

Created first as a bedtime story, The Pennymores explores a world where all writing has been banned for centuries (a setting inspired by the true-life events of Nobel Prize winner Malala Yousafzai). But when an unstoppable enemy returns threatening the destroy their world, the Pennymores must set off on a quest taking them inside hidden mystical realms, confronting ancient challenges, and forcing them to step closer to the heroes they are destined to be.

The Pennymores is a family-friendly quest perfect for middle-grade and young adult readers who love fantasy, mystery, adventure, and magical realism, including dwarves, trolls, elves, talking animals, and powerful wizards. Featuring dynamic, witty, funny, and brave sisters, the book harkens to classic fantasy stories and fairy tales, with its own set of twists and surprises keeping the reader guessing. The Pennymores shares the power of writing, as we uncover an ancient world where magic writers lived in harmony until a great war forced the ancients to ban magic writing forever, and soon anti-writing zealots used force to stop all writing.

This "supernatural adventure story, filled with atmosphere, twists, the sublime and dripping with heart" (New York Weekly) features fast-paced action, surprising twists, spunky, funny, and relatable characters exploring fantastical magic and is perfect for fans of Narnia, The Hobbit, Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, Percy Jackson, and more.

A portion of the proceeds of the Pennymores benefits the Malala Fund for children's literacy.
