If you're looking for that perfect book for your middle schoolers, look no further than The League and the Lantern. Author, Brian Wells joins me 5/19 @ 6pm EST to share his debut novel and the amazing story of Jake Herndon:

AFTER A DISASTROUS SIXTH GRADE, Jake Herndon is anxiously awaiting his Big Do-Over, starting with his new school's notorious seventh grade sleepover. Awkward team-building games and forced fun quickly become the least of his problems, however, when a dangerous organization invades and the night takes a shocking turn. Jake and two new classmates, Lucy and TJ, barely escape, only to find themselves in a fight for survival on the streets of Chicago. Over the next 48 hours they unravel a mystery dating back to the Civil War and an incredible secret about Jake s family.

Full of unforgettable characters and unexpected twists, The League and the Lantern is a jaw-dropping ride of mind-bending revelations and laugh-out-loud humor. If Jake and his new friends can make it through this weekend, they just might have a shot at seventh grade.

In this debut novel, family television executive producer and dad Brian Wells has created an epic, rip-roaring comedy adventure that s also about courage, family and friendship. The result is an engaging mix of great characters, crackling wit and unexpected twists that 9- to 14-year-olds, entertainment executives and family groups are applauding.

Wells works from the belief that great entertainment is driven by memorable characters and imaginative writing, and it shows. The League and The Lantern delivers all of this and more without objectionable language or inappropriate themes. Throw in a plot that traces back to real historical figures and you ve got what some are calling Percy Jackson meets National Treasure.

If you're looking for a little spice, and a lot of personality, don't miss the show this Thursday, May 12th at 6pm EST! My guest will be the unforgettable, National Bestselling author, Zuri Day! She'll sit down with me to chat about her upcoming Contemporary Romance, Sapphire Attraction (The Drakes of California).

Book Blurb:

Fire and ice… 

Real estate mogul Ike Drake Jr. likes women the way he likes his cars—polished, sophisticated and reliable. Quinn Taylor, meanwhile, is as fiery and unpredictable as the red Corvette she drives. From the moment she roars into Paradise Cove, music blasting, they're like oil and water. And when a judge rules that Quinn must work off the damages in Ike's office after she broadsides his sedan, the tension between them escalates…before exploding into raw desire. 

Quinn's unconventional ways are ruffling feathers in this picturesque town. Yet there's something compelling about the place—and about powerfully strong, steady Ike. Simple chemistry won't be enough to bridge the gap between them, especially with a determined ex-girlfriend waiting in the wings. It'll take the kind of trust that requires putting your heart on the line to secure a glittering, priceless future…
