IFWG is extremely pleased to announce the global release of Jeffery E. Doherty’s final book in his Guardians of St. Giles middle grade fantasy series, Olivia Stone and the Curse of the Changeling.
“This has been a long and enjoyable journey,” said Gerry Huntman, Managing Director of IFWG, ” as we began it with Olivia Stone and the Trouble With Trixies nine years ago. Jeffery is one of our earliest authors, having published children’s fiction with us, and he has also been, and continues to be, a very strong advocate for children’s literature. What makes this series particularly endearing to us is its imaginative power and ‘scary bits’, yet perfectly pitched to the right age group – not surprising with his background. We highly recommend you acquire this book, and if you haven’t read the series, go back to book 1, Olivia Stone and the Trouble With Trixies.”
Belonging! That would be nice.
Olivia’s guardian days are over. Turns out, not sneaking out at night to fight monsters has left her isolated. As the magic turning her to stone gets terrifyingly worse, she grapples with strained friendships and family tensions. Yip and Glori struggle with their own problems, and Hector is trying his best to keep them all from falling apart.
A baby brother brings light and hope to Olivia’s heart but a disastrous thirteenth birthday brings her world crashing down. She believes someone has swapped her brother with a changeling. Her parents think she is jealous of the new baby. They are wrong, and Olivia will do anything to get him back, even if it means losing herself, and giving in to the darkness growing inside her.
Entering the lands of the fae is more dangerous than any of them could imagine.
Jeffery E Doherty writes fantasy and horror stories for children, young adults, and adults who are not afraid to be seen reading a kid’s book. Children love the thrill of being scared, they crave excitement and wonder, and there is no safer place to do that than in the imaginary world of a book. Jeffery’s books feature characters with a range of disabilities. He weaves tales of friendship, and self-discovery, that inspires courage and resilience in the face of adversity. His books aim to give these underrepresented children heroic characters they can relate and look up to.
Writing stories down for others to read and enjoy is one of the most special things anyone can hope to do.
Jeffery is a very talented illustrator, having done all the illustration and design for all his books.
Olivia Stone and the Curse of the Changeling is now available from all good online and bricks and mortar stores, in print and ebook formats. Note: print stock will be delayed a month or so for Australian and New Zealand readers.
