ABOUT THE SERIES

The Academy for the Unbreakable Arts
Written by Erika Lewis

A 2023 Teacher Favorites Winner (6th-8th Grade) for the Children’s Book Council

Brimming with Celtic mythology, action, and danger, Erika Lewis’s Kelcie Murphy and The Academy for the Unbreakable Arts introduces readers to a new kind of magical school and a warrior who must choose with which side of an epic battle her destiny will lie.

The Otherworld is at war. The Academy for the Unbreakable Arts trains warriors. And Kelcie Murphy―a foster child raised in the human world―is dying to attend.

A place at AUA means meeting Scáthach, the legendary trainer of Celtic heroes. It means learning to fight with a sword. It means harnessing her hidden powers and―most importantly―finding out who her parents are, and why they abandoned her in Boston Harbor eight years ago.

When Kelcie tests into the school, she learns that she’s a Saiga, one of the most ancient beings in the Otherworld. Secretive, shunned, and possessed of imposing elemental powers, the Saiga are also kin to the Otherworld’s most infamous traitor.

But Kelcie is a survivor, and she’ll do whatever it takes to find her parents and her place in their world. Even if that means making a few enemies.

I absolutely am loving the Kelcie Murphy Series and was excietd to be given the chnace to read the first book in the series…. Kelcie Murphy and the Academy for the Unbreakable Arts. This book is perfection for middle schoolers and beyond, as I am an adulkt that cannot get enough of it and I am having a hard time putting it down. In this book you meet Kelcie Murphy who goes from foster home to foster home, and who is pretty untrusting of most people in general because of this. Within the first few chapters, Kelcie happens to stumble upon AUA ~ The Academy For The Unbreakable Arts. This is where she discovers that she has powers…..and can control the elements, which makes her a Saiga. Now that she knows she is a Saiga, she can enter her first year at AUA, in order to develop her powers. While there she makes friends, my favorite of all being Niall. I just love Niall’s character and personality because he is the perfect friend for Kelcie. This is such a wonderful fantasy series and I cannot get enough of it!

I love that this book uses Celtic folklore and myths throughout and I also love how the author describes everything perfectly so that I can envision the world that the author created for us. Erika Lewis has done an amazing job with this series as I do not want to stop reading it. It’s a book filled with action, mystery, and more and it will most definitely keep the pickiest of readers entertained. I love that this is a book perfect for both girls and boys and I also love that young readers will absolutely enjoy this amazing fanatsy series in which they get to learn about Kelcie, where she came from and all about her powers too. Kelcie learns that the Otherworld is at war and in danger and I cannot wait to find out what happens next and how she will help to save it. This is a unique book for sure and I cannot wait to read the next book in the series and learn more about Kelcie, Niall and all of the amazing characters throughout.
