A Home for Kayla was a very special project for me. We have always had rescues as pets, but our Kayla was probably the
sweetest soul I’ve ever encountered.

A Young Adult Series Written By Kim English
The Old Ones are out there, waiting, and trying to get back into our dimension. All that separates us from them is a barrier known as the sieve. Thirteen-year-old Coriander Jones, her best friend Sam and little sister Autumn are expecting another summer as usual at Camp Happy Haven, a rundown summer camp subsidized for “lower income children.” But after the bus ride to camp turns into a battle for their very lives, Coriander discovers she is part of a mysterious, centuries-old organization that defends our world against the return of the “Old Ones,” deities that pre date written or even spoken history. Angry at being forgotten and replaced over the eons, they want to breach the sieve and re-establish their control over humanity. Along with Sam and Autumn, Coriander must work with her arch nemesis, the formerly wealthy Olivia, and the mysterious teenager, Cole, to save the world from being thrown into chaos and despair.
Coriander Jones
Fierce, loyal, and most likely to end up in the principles office. "When in doubt, bring a baseball bat."
Sam
A genius with a knack for combat. "Star Fleet never Surrenders."
Autumn
Smart, Kind and Handy in an Emergency. "If you have a book, you're never alone."
Cole
The Level-headed boy next door with a few secrets. "Just tell me where the fight is."
Olivia
Not your average cheerleader. "There is no excuse for cowardice or frizzy hair."
"English's debut Novel, a darkly funny young-adult fantasy adventure."
