Kids and adults won't stop reading -- The Ghost in the Crystal. This is the first book of a multi-volume series. Three more novels and two short collections are available, with more to come. Revised and expanded second edition issued 2/28/16 features a new cover, various editorial corrections, and several pages of new content, including new characters and new scenes. This edition was released in paperback September 2016. Editorial Reviews: "There is a strong Jewish and biblical current, but it's about magic rather than religion, and the magic is impressive. I got the feeling I was attending the school by correspondence, and that the magic was authentic. A seemingly dull curriculum turns out to be otherwise. Simon has friends and enemies and aspires to romance as he struggles to make his way. This is good reading." -- Piers Anthony, world-famous fantasy author Keep up with news and updates about School of the Ages: schooloftheages.webs.com facebook dot com backslash schooloftheages twitter @schoolofthages Matt Posner is the author of School of the Ages series, of How to Write Dialogue (a fun manual for writers) and, with Jess C.
