Product Description
A fiction novel for readers from ten to 1000 years old, Merlin's Candles is a modern-day version of the King Arthur story. In it, a twelve-year-old boy is mentored by a science teacher who turns out to be the real Merlin the Magician. Just as legend has it, this Merlin lives backwards through time: Merlin's Candles explains how it all began. Living on Vancouver Island, 12-year-old Michael Halsey discovers that his 6th grade science teacher is really Merlin the Magician from the days of King Arthur. Pursued by gorgeous but deadly Morgan Le Fay, they escape into the coastal rainforest of Strathcona Provincial Park where Michael receives a special gift from the lady of the Lake. In a final battle of wits, wills and magic, Merlin sacrifices his future to save the past.
