The Fires of Calderon is Book One in #1 New York Times bestselling author Lindsay Cummings''s epic Balance Keepers series.

With themes of friendship, self-discovery, and courage; both boy and girl main characters; fierce creatures to battle; a mystery to solve; and a boarding school that could be described as Hogwarts Underground, there''s something for every reader to enjoy in this contemporary--and fantastically imaginative--spin on the classic A Journey to the Centre of the Earth . When eleven-year-old Albert Flynn follows a mysterious map deep into the woods, and then under the woods, he discovers he''s a Balance Keeper--someone with special magical skills for keeping harmony in fantastical underground worlds. Together with his teammates Leroy and Birdie, Albert must master his magical talents in time to stop the fires in the Calderon Realm from destroying New York City above.
