The Emerald Atlas:The Books of Beginning 1
The Emerald Atlas:The Books of Beginning 1 | John Stephens
16 posts | 29 read | 21 to read
The first thrilling book in the most exciting children's fantasy series since Harry Potter. They were taken from their beds one frozen night, when the world was covered in snow. The silhouette of a tall, thin man has haunted Kate ever since. Ten years on, Kate, Michael and Emma have grown up in a string of miserable orphanages, and all memories of their parents have faded to a blur. Arriving at Cambridge Falls, the children quickly realise there is something different about this place - and Kate feels sure she has seen the dark, crooked house before. As they explore, they discover an old, empty leather book. The moment they touch it, an ancient magical prophecy is set irrevocably in motion, and the children are thrown into a dangerous alternate reality of dark enchantments and terrifying monsters. Only they can prevent the terrible event that will ruin Cambridge Falls - and stop the world from falling into complete devastation.

Finished this one last night before bed! It was recommended by a friend of my sister‘s. I enjoyed it quite a bit, but am now kind of scared to read the others since I didn‘t realize it was part of a trilogy. In my experience the first book is always the best and then the rest go downhill.

I am posting one book per day from my to-be-read collection. No description and providing no reason for wanting to read it. Some will be old, some will be new - don't judge me, I have a lot of books.

Day 101th

Join the fun if you want!

So this is the Arc I got in 2011. I just read it for the first time and really enjoyed it. I already ordered book 2 and 3.

Book 12 of the year, finished Feb 17, eyeball

Another kinda new take on fantasy! I mean, it's got all the tropes: evil witch, ancient wizard, dwarves, the orphaned children of prophecy, powerful magical artifacts... But it's all put together in a way that feels new. It's definitely drawing on other books, I felt a strong presence of Tolkien, but it's absolutely it's own story well told.

On the waiting list for the 2nd book now.

i like this suspenseful book. It's a good read for younger children who enjoy a little bit of mystery.

One of the clients I work for gave me this entire series for my birthday in December. I had somehow missed this when I was younger but it‘s never too late!!! I fell in love with these three kiddos. If you have never read this I definitely suggest it! It‘s like Harry Potter meets Chronicles of Narnia. And today is my clients birthday so I‘m posting this is honor of her special day!!! Happy Birthday Karen!!! 🎂🎉🎈📚❤️🎁

smilingshelves Yes! I love this series! 7y

#middlegrademay

This audio read by Jim Dale was so much fun!

I could recommend this to youth who like Harry Potter or Series of Unfortunate Events, but it is definitely its own story. Action packed, suspenseful, and a lot of heart.

Now for book 2 on audio...

So maybe you all can help me? What's the #subtitle here? I think it should be the line that starts "An ancient book...". But if I'm correct, then which of the remaining titles is the title and what's the other one called? I'm very confused. These are not things they teach in law school or if they did it's been too long and I've forgotten. #aprilbookshowers

Missusb My understanding is that there is no subtitle. The book's title is The Emerald Atlas. The Books of Beginnings looks like the series name. The Ancient line is more like a teaser, a catch cry, a Tagline... #mytwocents @Texreader #cantresist #letmelibrarianthatforyou #alwayswantedachancetodothat #thanks (edited) 8y
