Luminescence (Middle School Magic 3) (Middle Shool Magic)

Cannot tell you what a thrill it has been to spend a few hours reading this entertaining novel. Very real characters an enlightening story line with twists and unexpected turns at the flip of most every page. I was so relieved to find that certain characters still lived. Loved following the fantastic imagination of Braden Bell.It was a big thrill flipping the page and seeing my name on a page in such a creative book. My sadness is deep over the ending of this Trilogy. What will be next in the creative genius of this author? I cannot wait to find out.Thanks Braden Bell. great book!

As an adult I still love to ready this style of story. It may be in the YA fantasy style but not too in your face as it's based in a more natural setting of a normal school. Also nice that the teachers are the good guys.

My children and I love this series. My 12 year old daughter was the first to read "The Kindling" then she went on to finish the series. Our 10 year old has now finished the first book and is started on the second and can't wait to read this one. I just started the series and, needless to say, I have fallen in love with these books as well. Thank you Braden Bell for writing a smart, funny, charming, exciting and all around amazing series of books.

This was the conclusion of the three volume Middle School Magic series. Great suspense and a good surprise ending. Great series for middle school age kids who like to read and like suspense. A good battle between good and evil.

Fast shipping, product as described😊

The cliffhanger to book two was so good that I couldn't wait to put my nose into this finale. It did not disappoint! The trio and my fav, Pilaf, were back for new adventures that would test their powers and friendship even more. Their growth proved considerably in this conclusion, well, mainly to two of them.Oh, Mr. Bell kept me on my toes! Was Dr. Timberi really alive or has Lexa gone bonkers? The supposed loss of Dr. Timberi seemed to put a strain on the trio, will their friendship endure? Lexa was racked with so much guilt that I was sure it'd change her, to what degree? Melanie's dad, he was hiding something! Then Timothy, I can sense that something big was going to happen at the tribunal. Of course, my dear Pilaf, I was rooting for his test to be positive. What ended up being the answers to these questions? You'll have to read it to find out but suffice to say that I was treated to a twisty, poignant ending. Bittersweet and fantastic windup to the series! Which leads me to ask, "Is there such a thing as 'Oops, that wasn't the final installment!' book?", because I want one of those for this series. ;)The fondness for this book (the series for that matter) for me was the heartfelt message of love. It rang crystal clear in the experiences of these young characters, the sweet inclusion of music, the examination of good vs evil, and the dynamics of human relationships. It's the message that I think young readers need more of and I'm glad to say they'll get it in this series and be entertained in the process. So make a 3-inch room in your bookcase for these books, filed with your "great reads" collection. I did.**Paperback copy provided by publisher/author in exchange for an honest review.

With Dr. Timberi dead or at least to everyone else he is dead. Lexa hasn't felt anything from the sigil in a while. The trio are upset and blaming themselves. Melanie blames the fact that she can't stream, as to what happened to Dr. Timberi, Connor blames himself for not being strong enough to fight of Lady Nightwing, and Lexa blames herself for fighting with Dr. Timberi had she not fought with him none of them would have been at the school.A Cherub approaches Melanie to help get the trio back together. Lexa gets messages from Dr. Timberi, and Connor works with an group to learn how to control the darkness. Pilaf is still the unknown mystery, is he a magi or not?So much happens in this book we get to see the trio get back together and make peace with each other over loosing their teacher. We also get to see the sigil work through Lexa to help their beloved teacher. Melanie finally figures out how to stream. Of course there is also the trial of Timothy Timberi the stalker who has been after the trio since book one. In this book we see a different side of him, a side of him that wants to be good to make peace with his father and do the right thing, of course sometimes in order to do the right thing one must do a bad thing first.We also watch Pilaf and Lexa make the biggest sacrifices of everyone. Lexa sacrifices her power to save them all, and Pilaf absorbs so much darkness it's a miracle he's alive. Then there is Timothy who proved his loyalty and love to his father by saving him from death.My favorite parts are the ending even though it ends I like how Dr. Bell did it. I also laughed quite a bit with the various phrases Lee used instead of swearing those were great. I hope that we will see more books by Dr. Bell that are like this genre he has a great ability to spin a fabulous trilogy. Definitely a great fan of his and can't wait to see more work of his in the future. I will miss these characters they gave me laughs and a lot of oh my gosh moments. They will definitely live on in my hearts and to anyone I can recommend this series to.
