Description

Benny, fifteen, is solitary by circumstance more than choice: he counts each move to a new town as “a life.” He’s on Life Number Seven. His last! He plans to run away from his paranoid mother, who’s been on the run since the disappearance of his father when he was three. Benny has no memory of it, except for weird dreams of a firestorm and a hideous red-eyed dragon. After a fight with his mother, Benny packs his bags. Boom! The house explodes, catapulting Benny into a world he never imagined existed. The trail leads him to a gated Neoclassical building in the woods and to six kids he vaguely remembers: Kami is deaf, Amir is blind, Zuma is overweight, Layla is gorgeous but lazy, Chaz is in a wheelchair and Raj is as angry as the purple dagger-shaped birthmark running down the side of her face. These unlikely heroes share a common thread: Benny lost his father and they lost their mothers on the same day. The only clue to the mystery is Benny’s grandfather, Domenico H. Adez, a mysterious and dangerous man.

Advance Praise

“In my last years at Harcourt, I can’t remember reading one single fantasy MG or YA that was half as interesting as the world you have created…. So brilliant! Between the fight scenes and the stories and people and creatures..., it was truly a roller-coaster adventure.”

About the Author:

Born in Ventura, California but raised in Bakersfield, her chosen “hometown,” S. Woffington is the daughter of an oil Landman and a housewife. Woffington lived abroad in her twenties: Riyadh, Saudi Arabia; London, England; Rome, Italy.  These early opportunities gave her a thirst for adventure, a desire to understand cultures other than her own, and a quest to paint page after page with words that capture it all.

Woffington was a member of Sol Stein’s Chapter One writing and critique group, which inspired her ambition to write. She attended the University of California at Irvine, where she was among sixteen students, selected from all Humanities majors, accepted into the distinguished Humanities Honors Program. Woffington’s honors thesis won distinction as “The Most Outstanding.” Woffington graduated Cum Laude with a bachelors degree in English.  She then attended Chapman University and obtained two masters degrees: MFA in Creative Writing and MA in English.  While at Chapman, she had a poem and a short story published in Caliope, Chapman’s literary journal.  Her debut  novel Unveiling  received Honorable Mention from Writer’s Digest SP e-book awards. The screenplay she co-authored with her sister, Lisa Oster, was a Semi-Finalist in the CWA (Creative World Awards). Ms. Woffington lives in southern California.  She works as a middle grade teacher and a free-lance developmental editor. She is currently writing a  Middle Grade Epic Mythological Fantasy series, Warriors and Watcher’s Saga. Book #1, Evil Speaks is to be released in February of 2017.Woffington’s hobbies include reading, traveling, and hoola hooping (the latter of which she says is great exercise and a lot of fun).  She also enjoys visits with her daughters, usually spent in unique restaurants or in and around the kitchen, where they collectively test new recipes and prepare gourmet feasts, followed by curling up with blankets to watch (and critique) movies.
