MARCH FULL CONTENTS

Volumes 10-13 in this excellent series published this month (6th March) by Harper Collins Childrens' Books.

10. A BRIDGE BETWEEN WORLDS. In Heathefield, agents are investigating Elyon's disappearance, and the Guardians fear that their identities will be revealed. A cry for help from Elyon causes the girls to react and to travel the Veil to Meridian.

11. THE CROWN OF LIGHT. Darkness and despair have descended on the people of Meridian. Will, Irma, Taranee, Cornelia and Hay Lin must join Elyon and the rebel forces to try and bring back the light to Meridian.

12. THE RETURN OF A QUEEN. The tide is turning in Metamoor. The rebel forces have been shattered by Caleb's transformation and Prince Phobos has grown more desperate to take over the throne. Looking to the Guardians for help, Elyon prepare sfor the most difficult and dangerous battle of all.

13. A DIFFERENT PATH. After the destruction of the Veil, Will, Irma, Taranee, Cornelia and Hay Lin are feeling uneasy. Their powers are failing, and they're wondering what being a Guardian means now. Taranee tries to warn the others, especially Cornelia, who refuses to speak to her. Was the magic of friendship destroyed along with the Veil?

Beautifully printed, with comic strip pages at the front and end, these books are absolutely delightful, and girls aged 10-12 will love them!

Submitting to Gateway: Basically, all you need do is e-mail it along and I'll consider it - it can be any length, if it's very long I'll serialise it, if it's medium-length I'll put it in as a novella, if it's a short story or a feature article it will go in as it comes.
