ABOUT TWO SECRETS:
“Sometimes we hide secrets from others, and sometimes we hide them from ourselves.”
Brian’s world is about to be turned upside down…again. Charles Moon is back to play more of his evil games. As people disappear without a trace from South Toheeden, it’s up to Brian and his friends to figure out why. But first, they must solve a riddle, travel through portals to far off places, and find an antidote serum to destroy Moon’s evil inventions.
Now, Moon seems to be focused on Brian, and Brian seems to have an uncanny ability to understand Moon. But why? Things get urgent when Moon kidnaps Brian’s brother Aaron, and they have little time to save him before Aaron is gone forever. To save Aaron and the others, Brian and his friends must first figure out Moon’s clues, use the Stone of Moraetus to time travel, and survive the treachery of a battle with Moon and his followers. As they delve further into the world of magic and mystery, life-changing secrets are revealed. What secrets has Brian discovered, and how will they shape him forever?

In the hands of a fifth grader, these seem like perfect tools for idle time. And for Sarah Frank, they proved to be just that — a creative outlet. While squirreled away in her bedroom, she embarked on writing a “story” about orphans and magic, escalating adventures and time travel, never intending to share her writings with anyone.
Then she added a, “purple Sharpie” to the mix. And everything changed.
“Somewhere in the middle — maybe just after I ended a chapter with a character saying, ‘We only have one chance’ — I realized I liked the sound of those last two words and I decided to make One Chance the title,” said Sarah, now a rising sophomore at Blake High School. “Once I wrote the title in this thick purple Sharpie (which definitely didn’t match the ruby red) on the cover, it started to feel real.
“It was at that point that I knew I wanted to take it to the next level and publish it — to share my story and my characters with the world.”
More than four years after that epiphany, Sarah peddles her first novel, One Chance, published last November by BeaLu Books.
While working on a 10-book series — the next installment will be Two Secrets — Sarah is accepting accolades. [Read more…]
