About the author
Martha Carr
560 books765 followersOkay, I'm a late bloomer who's a big DC comics fan and spent my childhood summers on the Jersey shore but I was born under a wandering star and have lived in different parts of America ever since. That's enough about me. Need to feel inspired today? Looking for something to make you root for an ordinary hero? I'm all about that in everything I write.
I love a good tale that makes me wonder about things and I love a story even more that leaves me feeling inspired or like I'm capable of doing more than I realized. That's my goal with everything I've ever written. Some of the stories I tell involve twisting, turning thrillers and others have a lot of magic.
There's something to be said for getting lost in another world and coming out the other side feeling a little better about yourself or the possibilities in front of you. That's basically the best part of life in a nutshell, no matter what kind of story I'm setting out to tell.
Thank you for checking out my stories!

And the beat goes on . . .
This third book held me spellbound, as I mentally urged Maggie to do what she needs to, in order to help the Ship, called Earth by the Peabrains, to readjust itself, and get back into whichever mode Maggie finally decides is best for everyone.
Maggie literally has the weight of all the billions of lives inhabiting this Ship, on shoulders that are slowly adjusting to such a weight.
She finds that, in order to go forwards in learning all she can about her own brand of magic, that she needs to confront what has been buried deep in her heart, ever since her father died, when she was a young child.
With Simon Wesley as an example of what can go wrong, Maggie slowly - so very slowly - starts to learn to trust those around her.
But, when she discovers that Jake is, in fact, half Peabrain, and half Kashgar, that trust gets ripped apart once more, and it's going to take more than even her most loved Sister, Diana, to heal that wound.
But, with the fate of the very Earth itself, at stake, Maggie really needs to step up her game!
I loved this book. There was so much happening, all the time, and it had me, in turn, either worried, scared, sad, and laughing out loud with the absurdities of a Raccoon, wearing a t-shirt, and Short Shorts, while dumpster diving for doughnuts, that I was exhausted as I reached the end! Lol
I'm really loving this Terranavis World. Its magic is both hilariously funny, but also amazingly, wonderfully, beautiful in its connectedness throughout the Earth.
It made me wish, so much, that this was really how things worked, as so much could be done to fix the things going on In our own reality, if it were!
I know! If wishes were horses then beggars would ride! Lol
There will always be someone willing to spoil things, just because they could, or for power.
But, much like the Huldu, I like to think that there's still enough goodness in the world, to be able to change things for the better - if we ALL try hard enough!
Bernie was right, I think, in finding that the level of hope, that all we Peabrain's tend to go through life holding on to, is one of our greatest strengths, as Hope is such a strong emotion, and lasts so much longer than most any other!
Anyhoo, I'm wasting precious time, gabbling on, as I really want to get to Book Four: 'The Magic Quest', to find out what will happen when Maggie goes through 'That' door, so I'll catch you on the flip side, to let you know what I think of it!

The elementals come together
The story was ok just parts of it were so annoying. Like the dumpster parts got to be a but much. Would have been better without that bit all the time. Also the part about her dad being her secret seemed a bit odd as the secret she was keeping. Its human nature to have feelings especially about your parents who die. Not really a deep secret. Just my thoughts on some points I felt could be improved.

really fun series so far
I have really enjoyed this series so far. The characters and universe are interesting and suck you in to keep reading. There is a lot of action, magic that is indistinguishable to science, and this is just fun to read. I recommend this book and series.

Excellent fun, great series
I know there is another book, and I can't wait to read it in just a minute. First I wanted to say if you like highly creative urban fantasy worlds, suspense, action, and a lovely dose of snark, give this series a read. Martha Carr is just fantastic at creating entertaining and fun worlds and characters. I highly recommend this series, and everything in the Oriceran universe.

Good and Cute Story
Sorry you changed the name of the series. Peabrain was unique. Now it is blaa just like all the others by the group you write with. Anderle is not always right, neither are your survey bunch. I read it because of its unique name. Don't fall victim to money and popularity, it fades quickly. Doing what you enjoy is what lasts. Life is short have fun.

Closer...
Maggie is drawing closer to completing her first quest, but enemies are doing their best to stop her. Her allies draw around her and Maggie learns more about teamwork.
Another excellent story in the Peabrain adventures.

The Elemental’s Magic
Magical. This series and all the other Oriceran Universe series is fantasy come to life between the pages. All of the “ what if’s?” You could imagine and more. Well written characters and stories. We all have a bit of magic. We just have to find it.

Another great story
It's all coming to a head and Maggie is hot in the middle. The elementals are coming together to save the ship. Lots of surprises in this one. Can't wait for the next.

Really, really great story
It is so good to see the start of how things should go in a story. Maggie believes fully in what is happening finally. Some can be convinced of the wrong but they will eventually see the truth. On to the next chapter?

Ok Peabrains Are Good
I read the first book and was hooked early in. I read them all in just a couple of days. I am ready for more Ms Carr. A real page turned (I use a Kindle tho). Compulsive reading and leaves you wanting more! Well Done Ms Carr. Well Done

Starting to really get into the story!
To be honest I had a rough time getting into this series. That said, this book was beyond the high standards I expect from Martha Carr!
Love the book and characters. You pulled this book and series to the top!

Maggie called them all
Once more into the quest! The past does not predict the future! ( I love this quote, will use it as my wall hanging)
