From USA Today and #1 bestselling fantasy author Morgan Rice comes a new fantasy series for teens and adults.

THE MAGIC FACTORY: OLIVER BLUE AND THE SCHOOL FOR SEERS (BOOK ONE) tells the story of one very special boy, Oliver Blue, different than those around him and unloved by his hateful family. Obsessed with inventions, Oliver is determined to escape his horrible life and make his mark on the world.

When Oliver’s family moves again, to another awful house and school, he is bullied and excluded, and sees no way out. But when he stumbles across an abandoned invention factory, he wonders if this could be his way out. Who is the mysterious old inventor hiding in the factory? What is his secret invention?

And might this factory be a portal to somewhere else?

An inspiring fantasy, THE MAGIC FACTORY is book #1 in a riveting new series filled with magic, love, humor, heartbreak, tragedy, destiny, and a series of shocking twists. It will make you fall in love with Oliver Blue, and keep you turning pages late into the night.

Book #2 in the series (THE ORB OF KANDRA) and Book #3 (THE OBSIDIANS) are now also available!
 
“The beginnings of something remarkable are there.”

    Oliver Blue doesn’t feel like he belongs. His family treats him like a nuisance. His classmates ridicule him for his knowledge. All of that changes when he moves close to the factory of an inventor he admires and finds a kindred spirit in his science teacher. Soon he discoveries more people who accept him for who he is. But will he survive his new knowledge and the new enemies that come with it? When I first started this book, I worried that the inattentive parents might be the antagonists of the story. I also felt for poor Oliver living in a loveless home and started evaluating if I made either of my children feel that way. Then I got pulled into world of Seers and rules governing it and started rooting for the characters whose choices seemed less self-serving. Wonder where the next one will take me.

    This book is full of suspense, friendship, and lots of other things to make a perfect book. The worst part is that it ends! Hope you enjoy it as much as me. -S

    It was good up until the climax felt slightly underwhelming for a writer like Morgan rice.

    What an imagination! Morgan Rice will never run out of ideas for books! Another one that can’t be put down and disappointment when it over!

    I love the story of this book. It’s a good wholesome story. Magic, mystery, morals. Easy read. Great for teens or adults who like teen stories. It was a bit slow as first but I enjoyed the whole book. I just know the story seemed way different than a magical story at first.

  • Amazing

    Interesting storytelling by M Rice that stretches the imagination.

  • AI wrote this.

    There is no way a human did. It is a really poorly written Harry Potter rip-off. There are grammatical and word usage mistakes, as well as repetitive descriptions. How many times can trash blowing in the wind be mentioned in the first chapters before the reader tires of it? How many times can the main character get lost in the hallways? I can not understand how this even made it through editing. The story is just ok; some characters are likable yet underdeveloped. Many situations that the main character finds himself in are tiresome, or just plain ridiculous. It is like the AI just couldn’t come up with anything else to say. I would pass on this one.
