Northwood
Part 1 of the Adventures in Faeleara series
Jessie, Hunter, and Georgia Northwood knew summer break would be epic, but they didn't know it would involve dragons and magical lands. When a mysterious red letter appears in the mail addressed to their mother, things go from normal to crazy. Suddenly, their plans for the best summer ever are put on hold and they're shuttled off to stay with their grandfather for a week. With boredom driving him crazy, Hunter decides to investigate the off-limits woods at the back of Gramps's old farm. When he's gone for too long, Jessie and Georgia go looking for him. What they find is a portal to a land in great danger…and they're the only ones who can save it. M. J. Padgett is first and foremost a mom. Her free-spirited kindergartener has quite the vivid imagination, and her antics sometimes find their way into her mommy's work. She is a lover of all things chocolate, a Grimm and Dickens addict, a self-proclaimed smarty-pants, and an introvert to the core.Writing is her true passion (after raising her daughter, of course), and she writes as often as possible. One of her favorite things about writing is creating a world where people can escape reality for a little while, maybe even walk away feeling hopeful about the real world around them. When it comes to reading, she loves a book that can make her forget where she is no matter the genre. If she can get lost and feel like the characters are her real friends, she's a happy reader.
