Description

Lexile Level HL700L

It has been thirty-seven years since the Big Boom blasted magic into the world of Harmonyca and nearly destroyed it. And it’s been almost two years since Zyk’s dad disappeared, for reasons unknown. The powerful institution of FAHLT says that Magic Is an Affliction and has strictly forbidden any association with magic or magical creatures. But twelve-year-old Zyk’s most fervent desire is to learn more about magical TOMBs (Treacherous Obstructive and Malignant Botanicals). Just when his dream feels completely out of reach, events start befalling Zyk, one after another. Now he’s stuck in a magical settlement, in hiding from FAHLT knights. Is magic truly an affliction? Are magical creatures really evil? If so, why are they helping him? And will he ever be able to cure the curse he’s been hit with and go back home to his mum?

INTO MISTY RUSE is the first book in THE HARMONYCAN CHRONICLES SERIES.

"...Growler’s enjoyable fantasy series opener provides the magic school genre with some original twists in its vivid introduction of the biests. An entertaining fantasy for readers interested in magic and science." — Kirkus Reviews

So…. I finished this in less than a day. And HOLY FREAKING METAL BATMAN!! It was amazing and I couldn’t put it down lol If I could give this 10★ ️ I would!

—Rachael, Booktoker ★★★★★

There were a lot of important themes running through this book, ones that I think would make great discussion topics in a classroom or with your own child, such as loneliness, loss, grief, friendship, acceptance, racism, judgment, pre-conceived notions, growth, separation, and consequences to one's behaviour. There is a huge emphasis on different does not mean something to be destroyed, but that co-existence is necessary for everyone to thrive... Everything was done with compassion and care.
