The first fantasy/adventure book in the 5-star Peridot series featuring clever cousins and awesome talking elephants by Award-Winning Author of Monet's Fun Camp Debra Tracy.

You think you've got problems? Try traveling through a Secret Portal into a secret land your parents know nothing about-even though you so badly want to tell them!

Try rescuing bright gemstone-colored elephants-your new best friends who act just like people-from impossible situations in their land and yours-without getting caught.

Or, here's a good one. Got a clue how to explain that you're a timekeeper superhero weeks older than your biological age living a double-life without having to visit a shrink? I didn't think so.

If you like twist and turns, ups and downs, and characters who solve insurmountable problems using good old-fashioned brains and determination, you'll love this humor-packed, suspense-filled, relationship-driven first book in the Peridot series: Peridot the Secret Portal.

Elephant prints in the snow along a creek bank in Northern Minnesota? Impossible! Yet cousins and best friends Jonathan and Molly Wiggins see them with their own eyes.

When Jonathan and Molly pair up to do something, they're unbeatable! That is until a mysterious computer game leads them to a secret, paradise land where their friendship and loyalty is severely tested. Molly has always tried to keep up with brainy Jonathan, and Jonathan has always relied on Molly's common sense and creativity. But when new friendships, peer pressure, and a shocking decision separate them in their attempts to save an innocent elephant from being banished from his home, the cousins' relationship crumbles, and they wonder if they'll ever be friends again.

This book was amazing! Once I started reading it, I couldn't put it down. I read it for three hours straight. I've never read a book with talking elephants, and I thought they were awesome! - Logan Freeburg, Age 12, Grade 7

From peanut trees and eloquent jewel-toned pachyderms to new friendships and peer pressure, Peridot will captivate readers drawn to a world that's both fantastic and familiar. - M. M. McGinnis, MMM Editorial Services
