The beloved Pennykettle dragons and their valiant human friends have vanished as our story opens. We are no longer visiting Crescent Lane but find ourselves now in a parallel universe called Co:pern:ica. As the story opens, David, age twelve, has begun to reveal a unique ability to conjure up objects simply by imagining them in his mind. His parents have taken him to be tested and during the process it's been discovered that in his dreams David is experiencing a danger that draws help from beyond his own time and space. Yep, we're off and running again with the mind of Chris D'Lacey as he sends David off to live in a librarium. A world filled with books, this building is operated under the guidance of Mr. Henry and a girl named Rosanna. But dark forces lurk. When David and Rosanna accidentally harm a firebird they summon dangerous entities known as The Aunts. Familiar names these aunts have... Gwyneth ring a bell? But, in Co:pern:ica these Aunts have centuries of experience and magical prowess on their side and they have their own agenda. Into this world wander David and Rosanna and it will be up to them to risk their lives and their souls as they find themselves pitted against the darkest energy of all. Ages 9-13 562 pages
