Bounders

In the tradition of Michael Vey and The Unwanteds, twelve-year-old Jasper and his friends are forced to go up against an alien society in this first book in a brand-new adventure series! Bounders have always known they were different, but they never suspected they were the key to saving Earth. Thirteen years ago, Earth Force-a space-military agency-discovered a connection between brain structure and space travel. Now they've brought together a team of cadets, called Bounders, to be trained as elite astronauts able to pilot ships that can travel across the galaxy in an instant. Jasper Adams can't wait to join the first class of Bounders, but when he arrives at the space station, nothing is as it seems. Security is sky-high, and Jasper and his new friends soon realize that Earth Force has been keeping secrets-one of the biggest being a powerful, highly-classified technology that allows the Bounders to teleport through space without a ship. Only Bounders can use this tech, which leads Jasper to a sinister truth-humanity is facing a threat greater than any they've ever known, and Bounders are the ones standing between their planet and destruction. Will Jasper and his friends rebel against Earth Force for hiding the truth, or fulfill their duty and fight for their planet? The fate of Earth may rest on their choice.

Harpur Diggins is in trouble. After spending years in human form, he's lost his magic and his ability to transform back into his dragon form. It's only a matter of time before another dragon senses his weakness and challenges him for the Kingdom of Epoh.

Enter the beautiful Morgaine Fayle, whose arrival in Colwygshire causes Harpur to start acting strangely. First, he disappears from court. Then he sends Arthur on a mission to find the Amber Chalice. Next, he announces he's going to his lair to do some spring cleaning. No one is buying that! And everyone is trying to figure out what Harpur is up to. Follow Arthur, Sok, Davynn, Elder Dhonna, Hiro, Anayah and Bon as they inadvertently help Harpur with his plan. Will they figure it out?
