An exciting historical chapter book that takes children back to Medieval England by use of a magical amulet.

Best friends, Emily and Megan, are thrilled to find out that the ruby amulet they bought at a Medieval Fair is supposed to make wishes come true. The magical amulet sends the girls on a fantastic journey back in time to 15th century England, where they encounter a host of unforgetable characters. Anne and her cousin, Richard, help the girls to try to uncover the truth about the amulet.

Will they find the answers they need to return to their own time? Can they avoid being caught? Join the girls and their new friends in this exciting adventure back in time.



Excerpt

Emily's eyes lit up when the old gypsy held before her a ruby red pendant dangling from a thin, delicate gold neck chain. The ruby stone sparkled and shined as she turned it from one side to the other. Megan was just as excited as Emily while gleaming at the crimson gem.

"It's spectacular. I have to have it. It's meant just for me!" cried Emily as the excitement swelled up inside her. For the first time ever, she was buying something on impulse. Emily was always so practical. She always thought things through very carefully, but not this time. Somehow her emotions just took right over, making her decision in a split second, surprising them both.

D.L. Cocchio captures children's attention with the first book in The Amulet Series series- Be Careful What You Wish For. Each chapter ends in suspense to make them want to read more. Great reviews! High Interest Level.

Lincoln School Third Grader
Mrs. C wrote a fantastic book. Her characters were so vivid it was almost like they were friends of mine. I could hardly put the book down - it's a real page turner. I'm a big Harry Potter fan and now Be Careful What You Wish For is on my Love It List too. When is Book 2 coming out? I can't wait!
