Laurie Woodward

Books 4-5 in Laurie Woodward's 'Artania Chronicles' series of fantasy novels, now available in one volume!

Portal Rift: Ever since Bartholomew Borax III returned to homeschool, Mother has been so cleaning-obsessed that all he dreamed of was finding another portal to the magical Artania. But now, with doorways opening without warning and thrusting him through time and space, he has no idea where he’ll end up next. It might be a Parisian loft with a depressed Monet, near a burning café with monsters in pursuit, or in the middle of an empty street at midnight. And then his best friend falls into a coma that no one seems to be able to wake him from. Everyone is perplexed but there are clues, and Bartholomew is determined to help his friend. With Alex unconscious and time running out, can he find the key in time?

Persistence Of Memory: Bartholomew's germaphobe mother still makes him bathe six times a day, and he can’t tell anyone about the mystical Artania. But when Bartholomew, alongside skater girl Gwen and fellow artist Alex, are yanked back to the magical world of Artania, they discover that much has changed. Artanians are losing their memory, and no one can find a cure. With epic battles, surreal creatures and a looming threat, can the trio save Artania from certain doom?

The Artania Chronicles Collection - Books 4-5

The first three books in Laurie Woodward's 'Artania Chronicles' series of fantasy novels, now available in one volume!

Artania - The Pharaohs' Cry: Eleven-year-old Bartholomew Borax III can’t go to school, play outside or make art, so he sketches in secret. After meeting the skateboarding painter, Alexander DeVinci, they're yanked into another realm by a magical painting. Their own world is very different than Artania: a world with living paintings and sculptures. But Artania is on the verge of destruction, and only Bartholomew's art can save it. With Egyptian gods and goddesses at his side, Bartholomew braves battles, duels and skateboarding escapes. But can he defeat the evil Sickhert's army and bring art back to the world?

The Kidnapped Smile: It has been a year since Alex and Bartholomew ventured into the mystical Artania. Once again they are called upon to keep this art-created world safe. But peril waits at every turn: Traitorous pirates, fearful gods and goddesses, and monsters of the deep. The world’s safety lies in their hands. Alex and Bartholomew, with their spunky sidekick Gwen, return to Artania - but can they wrench the kidnapped Mona Lisa from the hands of ruthless pirates?

Dragon Sky: Artania calls upon Alex, Gwen, and Bartholomew to save an endangered land. If the Golden Dragons do not return to the skies soon, all will turn to white. When they venture into this art-created world, Gwen is nowhere to be found. Thus begins a desperate search - but will they find the treasured Goldens and each other in time?
