Thanks for all your support! Even though the freebie kindle offer is over, the Kindle ebook is still FREE to all AMAZON PRIME MEMBERS and on 99 cents at any AMAZON that offers Kindle.

Jessica is a smart, bold courageous teen who discovers she has amazing powers on her 13th birthday. After her parents’ sudden death, Jessica is stuck living with her weird, gassy grandparents in a small town in upstate New York.

Constantly bullied by her harsh schoolmates, this Georgia girl feels like a total loser and outcast. Angry about being forgotten on her 13th birthday Jessica is lured into the forest by a strange spiral light.

In the woods she encounters three magical beings, who call themselves Lightmasters. The leader, Dragateen, tells Jessica she has special powers. Intrigued, she agrees to be transported to another dimension where she is tested for her courage, strength and ability to overcome intense obstacles. Life changes drastically when Jessica returns to earth.

During school the next day, her reality shifts and people start turning into repulsive, reptilian monsters. Course, it doesn’t help that it’s Halloween, which makes it even more bizarre.

Dragateen explains to Jessica she's needed by the Lightmaster alliance to defeat an invisible alien beast, who feeds off fear. Follow Jessica on a wild adventure as she learns to empower her mind, conquer her own fears and help rid the world of a wicked alien enemy who hates humans.

Toni (tonibb) | 3 comments I truly enjoyed this book. It was a fast, easy read with lots of interesting themes, characters and a unique story. There were lots of intellectual and spiritual elements that I don't find in many young adult books, and I appreciated the diversity. The story surprised me and kept my interest from beginning to end. It seems the author left this book wide open for a sequel, and I look forward to a second book.

Foxfire | 6 comments I really enjoyed your book, M.G. and hope you do write another one.


HB Jones (HBJones) | 13 comments My family and I truly enjoyed LightMasters, especially my daughter. Since she's around Jessica's age, she very much related to her. It was one weird, wild ride. Jessica's grandparents were hilarious as well. The author took the time to create a unique story with an array of interesting, in-depth characters--even the ones that were only featured for a short time. The story was unique, easy to follow and filled with lots of action and adventure and realistic dialogue. As a parent, I was pleased it was not filled with profanity, sex or extreme violence. I do hope the author does a few more LightMasters books.


Aurora (aurorajoy) | 5 comments I bought this book based on a friend's recommendation and also downloaded the FREE ebook version. Since I'm on the go most of the time, I often read with my Kindle. Ultimately, I preferred the book version, which is amazing. Thankfully, I brought this book on my most recent travel and read it during my plane ride. As an indie author, I am impressed with M.G. Wells debut novel. The writing is realistic, and the cast of characters are so diverse.

The main character, Jessica, is a highly intelligent 13-year old and is not a happy camper. Not only does she feel displaced living with her eccentric grandparents, she is a thinker. Written in first person, I found it easy to to relate to Jessica. She not the typical kind of gossipy girl interested in boys and high fashion. She's a most introverted character and more of an observer of life.

I highly recommend this book to those who like a fun, intellectual adventure/mystery/fantasy. The story is definitely unusual and emphasizes the challenge of being human, choosing love over fear, and believing that anything in life is possible if you open your heart and believe.


Kevin  (kevinj) | 6 comments I really liked this book. It was easy to read and was a lot of fun for me. Like Jana said it's a book for younger readers. This book would make a great movie.
