three books of John amp Carole E, Barrowman's HOLLOW EARTH trilogy. Book: HOLLOW EARTH. Book: THE BONE QUILL. Book: THE BOOK OF BEASTS,
Long ago, the Order of Era Mina bound all the beasts of myth and legend into the pages of a single tome.
They called the prison they had created the Hollow Earth a nightmare world built to keep our world safe, Over centuries, their Order grew strong: the men and women with the power to bind and animate the magic of this world learned to live in secret among us, watched over by their constant companions, the Guardians.
Each Animarus was tasked with the protection of this world, Each Guardian was tasked with the protection of an Animarus, And in time the history of the Order was forgotten, their relics lost, and the Hollow Earth became nothing but a story,
Now, twelveyearold twins Matt and Emily Calder are about to discover
this world for themselves, . . I loved these books!!!! First book in trilogy is the March,LSG book club pick,
I love the idea of time travel though art really, how cool is that!, but this trilogy lacked continuity, was choppily edited, and overall, I just didn't buy that two teenagers from thest century could travel back to the Middle Ages and speak the same language as the monk they met.
Maybe I've been listening to The History Of English podcast too much recently,
However, this trilogy is geared towardsyearolds, notyearolds, I suspect they would like it much better,
