About the Author
Erika Lewis grew up in Virginia, where she spent most of her childhood riding her dirt bike through Fort Ward. She resides in the sunshine state of California. When she's not at her laptop, she's usually playing with her big fluffy golden retriever, running, or at one of the bookstores or comic shops by her house. And always drinking coffee. Kelcie Murphy and the Academy for the Unbreakable Arts is her middle-grade debut.

Praise for
Kelcie Murphy and the Academy for the Unbreakable Arts:

"Be prepared, it will be hard to take a break from Erika Lewis's The Academy for the Unbreakable Arts. The action leaps off the page, rich in ancient Celtic mythology and taut with emotion, with characters who are flawed, human, and awesomely gifted. Middle-grade readers with a thirst for high adventure with all the feels, in the tradition of J. K. Rowling, Tamora Pierce, and Lloyd Alexander, have reason to rejoice." --Peter Lerangis, New York Times bestselling author of The Seven Wonders series

"Lewis brings a fresh take on these tropes, incorporating Celtic mythology and lore to craft an--quite literally--Otherworldly hero who will stop at nothing to achieve her goals and who also embodies a relatable persona that readers will undoubtedly connect with." --Booklist, starred review

"You'll be on the edge of your seat while reading, and while waiting for more to come in this rich and engaging world. Perfect for fans of Rick Riordan and the Harry Potter series." --Janet Fox, award-winning author of The Charmed Children of Rookskill Castle

"Fast-paced and oh-so-fun, this exciting story celebrates the importance of friendship and the power of kids' choices. I couldn't put it down!" --Alyssa Colman, author of The Gilded Girl

"With vivid world-building and a marvelous blend of mythology and magic, Kelcie Murphy and the Academy for the Unbreakable Arts is a rip-roaring ride pulsing with the heart of its fierce and tenacious heroine! The opening installment of this epic new fantasy series will leave readers clamoring for more." --Alysa Wishingrad, author of The Verdigris Pawn

"Move over Hogwarts, there's a spellbinding new school in town. Enroll yourself for myth, mystery and magic. Not to be missed!"--Cavan Scott, New York Times bestselling author of Star Wars: The Rising Storm

"...Successfully centers a resilient heroine tapping into her unrealized potential." --Publishers Weekly
