Join Kate on an epic adventure... Starring a heroic young woman named Kate Gordon, and featuring T. A. Barron s trademark mastery of language and setting, The Heartlight Saga collects Barron s three beloved novels from The Adventures of Kate series into a single volume. The stories follow Kate as she travels to a distant galaxy to save the life of her astronomer grandfather in Heartlight, goes back in time to a lost Native American tribe in The Ancient One, and ultimately down to the very bottom of the sea in The Merlin Effect. Weaving together mystery, mysticism, and magic, and exploring themes of mortality, interconnectedness, and the fragility of the environment, The Heartlight Saga is a testament to the power that each of us has within us to make a difference in our world. Bold, original . . . this book shines! Publishers Weekly"
