About this series
World of Abraxas Series: Book Two
Summertime for David Stanhope means barbeques, bike riding, and being chased across dimensions by evil sorcerers.
When David and his sister Amanda unearthed a mysterious ruby in their family's attic last summer, it launched them on the adventure of a lifetime. A year later, they're back home, trying to lead normal lives. Until one day a knock at the door forces them back into the dangerous power struggles in the magical world of Abraxas.
Two of their friends from Abraxas have been sent to warn the Stanhopes about a new threat. The followers of Adrian the Deceiver are continuing their former leader’s quest to steal the five magical Stones of Abraxas, and the Stanhopes' ruby is one of the sought-after stones. David and Amanda would be defenseless if their enemies chase them to the nonmagical world, so they must return to Abraxas in hopes of protecting the precious ruby.
While the Stanhopes try to figure out whether they can ever return home, they find themselves facing many questions: Who's behind the repeated break-ins at the castle? What's wrong with Cousin Beth? Why is Cousin Peter so terrifying? And what's that gooey pink stuff climbing up everyone's legs?
Whatever happened to a nice, relaxing summer vacation like normal kids get?

Book 1 in the World of Abraxas Series David Stanhope is an average twelve-year-old. His friends are geeks. School is an endless series of humiliations. And his summer vacation is about to be wasted at a broken-down cabin in the middle of nowhere. But there's a secret lurking in David's attic. It transports him and his sister Amanda to the magical world of Abraxas where dragons scour the prairie for prey and centaurs patrol in search of humans. They learn that the people of Abraxas live in fear of a centuries-old sorcerer who has spent his life trying to impose his evil rule on the entire land. If he discovers who David and Amanda really are, they will be forced to help him – or be destroyed. Before the Stanhopes can escape back to their own world, they need answers: How did a priceless treasure end up in their attic? Why is a dragon afraid of a compass? Can a centaur wear a tool belt? Why is a huge talking frog following Amanda? And what's Lucy the Moat Monster's favorite food? Maybe David isn't so average after all.
