John Stephens Knihy

Uprostred decembrovej noci trojica detí prenasledovaná temnými silami náhlivo opúšťa svoj domov v sprievode záhadného starého muža. Ich rodičia nemajú inú možnosť, ak chcú deti zachrániť. Prejde desať rokov, no Kate, Michael a Emma nie sú o nič bližšie k odhaleniu pravdy o ich osude. Cesta k odpovedi sa skrýva v tajomnom atlase. Práve vďaka jeho čarovnej sile sa súrodenci ocitnú v krajine, ktorej kruto vládne Grófka s armádou svojich mŕtvych bojovníkov. Dobrodružstvo sa môže začať! Nebudú v ňom chýbať unesené deti, prazvláštne spojenectvá, krvilační vlci, bitky v hlbinách zeme, honosné plesy duchov, obri s mečmi a najmä knihy s vedomosťami nevýslovnej ceny. Smaragdový atlas je prvou zastávkou Kate, Emmy a Michaela na vzrušujúcej ceste do čarovného sveta, ale aj k poznaniu seba samých. Je to príbeh troch obyčajných detí, ktoré sa rozhodnú zachrániť svoju rodinu, aby napokon zachránili svet.
