Oliver Blue and the School for Seers

The Magic Factory tells the story of 11-year-old Oliver Blue, a boy unloved by his hateful family. Oliver knows he is different, and senses that he holds powers that others do not. Obsessed with inventions, Oliver is determined to escape his horrible life and make his mark on the world. When Oliver is moved to yet another awful house he is put into in a new sixth grade, one even more terrifying than the last. He is bullied and excluded, and sees no way out. But when he stumbles across an abandoned invention factory, he wonders if his dreams might be about to come true.

In The Orb of Kandra, 11 year old Oliver Blue is back in the present day, racing to save Armando before his destined moment to die. But when Oliver learns that the sacred Orb of Kandra has been stolen, he knows it is up to him - and him alone - to save the school. And the only way is to travel back in time, to the England of 1690s, and to save one very important person: Sir Isaac Newton. The Obsidian School, meanwhile, all are bent on Oliver’s destruction. And when they enlist and transform Oliver’s bully brother, Chris, it may just mean a fight to the death.

Eleven-year-old Oliver Blue once again finds himself in the race of his life. His beloved friend, Esther, is dying of time-travel sickness, and the only chance of saving her is to risk his life and travel back in time once more. This time, it is to the Italy of the 1400s to visit two very important people: Leonardo da Vinci and his rival, Michelangelo. Only Leonardo’s inventions hold the answer, and only Michelangelo’s paintings hold the key.

In The Scepter of Fire, 12-year-old Oliver Blue is dispatched on an urgent mission to save the School for Seers. He must travel back in time, to Florence, 1592, to find the only artifact that can save them all. Yet the secret is guarded by none other than Galileo himself. As Oliver searches for one of the great scientists and inventors of all time, the man who invented the telescope and who discovered planets, Oliver must wonder: is a he a seer, too? And what other secrets is he holding?
