Taylor Davis Boxed Set

Lauded by kids for its snarky humor, the Taylor Davis series was first published as serial episodes tailored specifically to reluctant readers and written in conjunction with two sixth-grade classrooms. Each episode contains high action, crazy predicaments, bigger-than-life characters, and a nail-biter ending that encourages kids to keep reading! The three serial adventures have been collected into three complete novels. This boxed set contains the entire trilogy.

TAYLOR DAVIS AND THE FLAME OF FINDUL

Sometimes life gooses you when you’re not looking. You might be happily coasting through days in a little New Jersey suburb, dreaming about Jennifer Williams and making plans to see the new movie showing uptown when–bam!–everything changes in an instant. Your family moves overseas and suddenly you’re hacking at water demons with a four-foot blade…

I was chosen from among all others to complete a task I did not want. I was told I’d have help. I was told I’d be in capable hands. Then I met my guardian angel.

I am so doomed.

TAYLOR DAVIS AND THE CLASH OF KINGDOMS

I just can’t catch a break. Most of my friends only concern themselves with girls and grades, but I have to worry about retaliation from hellish warlords. When three of my classmates succumb to a strange malady, I become the target of irrational violence. Is it a coincidence, as Elena so firmly believes? Or could there be a deeper, more evil explanation?

When the epidemic goes national, my team and I are called on to uncover the root of the problem before violence breaks out on a worldwide stage. Our quest leads us to the heart of Africa, to the underworld, and to a second encounter with an enemy who just won’t stay dead.

TAYLOR DAVIS AND THE QUEST FOR THE IMMORTAL BLADE

You’d think that after defeating Bartholomew Swain twice, I’d get a shot at a normal life. Instead, my teammates and I are called up to discover why Swain has a taken sudden interest in old graveyards. Our investigation leads us to the medieval Silk Road, to the epicenter of the Black Plague outbreak, and to the Immortal Blade that can command both the living and the dead.

And then the Timekeeper disappears. Time ticks away as we race to keep the Schedule of all future events out of the hands of Hades’ leadership, and I run headlong into my final confrontation with Bartholomew Swain.
