Publisher’s Synopsis: Author J.T. Michaels brings a fantasy tale of an ancient war, a modern-day murder mystery, mystical creatures, and memorable characters in his masterfully written young adult novel, Jimmy Chartron and the Lost Keystone.
The Great War ended a century ago. Peace reigns across the eight countries. Epic tales of heroic men and women of those times are recounted in song and story. Yet, history seems to have forgotten a young battlefield healer, Tessa Marlise…
Sixteen-year-old Jimmy Chartron has just enrolled at the Navale Academy of Eagleon, his mind set on becoming an electrician. A chance magical encounter binds him to the trapped soul of Tessa Marlise. As Jimmy struggles to deal with this shocking development, murder and mystery unravel in the academy. Caught in the middle of everything, Jimmy realizes that a larger evil is afoot and that only two things can stop it: himself and the ghost in his head…

MY REVIEW
Looking for fantasy adventure with action, magic, strange beasts, and a young protagonist coming of age? Jimmy Chartron is a teenage orphan working any jobs he can find (cleaning ships down at the harbor, delivering mail, etc.) to survive. His goal is to go to school and become an electrical inventor. It seems that his dreams are coming true, because he is accepted to the Navale Academy and is able to sign up for the track of study that will let him learn about electricity. But instead of clear sailing, Jimmy winds up stuck in a web of intrigues with ties back to a war that ended before he was born, and the players in the intrigue seem to be everywhere. There are attacks in the school, shadowy figures trying to assassinate instructors and government agents, and no matter where he goes, Jimmy is always right in the thick of the action. This book has many attractive features for readers. There is the plucky orphan who works hard to rise above circumstances. The stately school with its well-respected instructors is now plagued by break-ins, fires, and attacks by magical creatures. Working so hard just to have food and a place to stay, Jimmy has not made friends of his own age until he reaches school. Suddenly, he meets other young people and begins to form alliances with them. There are objects that seem magical or part of a steampunk world - trains with elemental stones that help to move the cars along tracks, air ships that use other stones to levitate them through the air, pistols that send out bullets and smokescreens. Whether readers enjoy the trope of the lonely boy finding his place in the world, or simply want some fighting scenes with magical creatures and weird gadgets, Jimmy Chartron will keep them turning the pages. And they will be glad to see it is only the first in a series - so they can expect more from Jimmy and his friends (and enemies) in the future.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Author J.T. Michaels has always loved storytelling, no matter the medium. Being immersed in a different world, whether it’s through books or video games, has also been an obsession for him. Years after writing for his school magazine, he discovered he wanted to create his own worlds for readers, and his journey to fantasy writing began with Jimmy Chartron and the Lost Keystone, the first volume in his epic fantasy series.
J.T. gets inspiration for his books from everything around him, incorporating his friends as character ideas to make his stories as relatable and realistic as possible. He hopes his young readers come away from his stories having escaped from the real world for a bit and with a spark of magic that lasts long after the book is closed.
When he isn’t writing enchanting fantasy novels for teens, J.T. enjoys running and spending time outside in the sunshine and hunkering down in a bookstore or library on rainy days. He lives in British Columbia, Canada, where he likes to indulge in a great cup of coffee. Jimmy Chartron and the Lost Keystone is his debut novel, the first in a planned fantasy trilogy.
