Kendra Kandlestar and the Search for Arazeen

A QUEST FOR PEACE . . . Every good wizard of Een undertakes the search to find Arazeen, a mythical state of peace and wonder. But young Kendra Kandlestar only cares about finding her long-lost family--something she believes she can do by locating the fabled City on the Storm. However, all is not what it seems at the mysterious castle in the clouds and after a devastating attack leaves Kendra weak and empty, she is ready to give up on everything. But war is coming. As Shuuunga the Unger witch marches upon the Land of Een with an army of monsters, thousands strong, Kendra must somehow find the power within to stand up for her people--and herself.

About the Author
Growing up on a farm, Lee Edward Fodi was subjected to various horrible chores such as cleaning up after chickens, pigs, geese, and younger siblings. There was a time when his father harbored hopes that his son would take over the family business, but these aspirations came to an abrupt end when the young author accidentally ran the tractor over his dad's outhouse (thankfully, his dad was not inside at the time). As a result, Fodi went on to pursue his love of art, mythology, and storytelling, all of which (luckily) do not require any skill in operating heavy machinery. He is the author and illustrator of The Chronicles of Kendra Kandlestar and has also illustrated several picture books, including I'll Follow the Moon and The Chocolatier's Apprentice, a Canadian national bestseller. When he is not writing and illustrating, Fodi spends his time teaching kids how to daydream through his fun-filled creative writing workshops. He enjoys travelling, and especially exploring castles, mazes, tombs, and temples, not to mention tiny places hidden between the cracks of here and there.
