The Phoenix Child - Tapa blanda

Avril awakens from a dream to find her mother has gone missing: she has broken the Code of their Nation, and seeks to become like the Phoenix. Avril must find her before she opens the Pit of the Heat of a Thousand Suns, and must convince her that she is deluded. Can Avril save the people of her Nation, her mother, and herself without a spirit animal to guide her? Avril doesn't realize that spirit animals are not what they seem, and she must rely solely upon The One Who Comes Before All Time to help her - but will it be enough?

Dr. Amanda Stanford received both her MSc and PhD in English Creative Writing at Edinburgh University in Scotland, U.K. She has written several books for very young readers, but this is her first YA novel. She wishes to thank her bright and dedicated 7th and 8th grade students for the encouragement and support they have shown her throughout the writing of this novel. They wanted a YA dystopian series, and Dr. Stanford just couldn't say no. You can reach Dr. Stanford via The REWORKD Press at: TheReworkdPress@gmail.com
