The Golden Telescope

A murderous plot by a magical cabal. Three orphan siblings. One reluctant 12-year-old hero.

Jack Mac Paidin doesn't know his parents were murdered, his grandmother is trapped in 1879, or that his aunts plan to rule the world. He only knows that life has been lonely since the accident that tore his family apart.

Then everything changes. A glowing golden telescope awakens Jack's hidden powers and thrusts him into a dangerous new world—one where:

•He comes from a long line of sorcerers.
•His parents' deaths may not have been an accident.
•The Dark Cabal will stop at nothing to claim his magic.
•Worst of all, his missing brother Ethan might already be one of them.

Whisked away to Dublin by a mysterious stranger with a traveling hat, Jack finds belonging for the first time. But to save his family—and the world—he must face time-bending dangers, terrifying foes, and the dark truth of his legacy.

Packed with time travel, ancient secrets, and unforgettable magic, Jack Mac Paidin and the Golden Telescope is perfect for fans of Harry Potter, Percy Jackson, and Artemis Fowl.

Magic, family, and courage collide in this thrilling middle-grade fantasy adventure.
