Diadem Worlds of Magic
9 primary works
Book 1
The first book of the "Diadem: Worlds of Magic" series focuses on Score, Helaine, and Pixel's thrilling search for who or what has brought them to Treen, a planet on the outer ring of the Diadem. Clues lie inside the tower of a cunning wizard and within a stranger's rhyming riddles. But the quarrelsome trio is ever doubtful of whom to trust-even among themselves. Danger awaits them at every turn as they battle angry mobs, bloodthirsty wolves, and a conniving wizard. Yet their toughest challenge is learning to band together as a team, their only hope against the perilous spells of their one true enemy.
Book 2
Diadem chronicles the adventures of three teenagers from very different worlds. Score is a streetwise New Yorker, Renald lives in a Medieval world where she readies herself for battle, and Pixel is confined to a one-room world of Virtual Reality. But now they all exist in the Diadem, the circuit of all worlds where their awesome purpose unfolds.
Book 3
In the third book, the young magic-users travel to Dondar, a beautiful land of purple skies and blue grass. It is also home to Garonath, the unfriendly wizard of forms. With help from their unicorn friends, they fight his magical monsters, but they soon fall into the hands of Sarman, the evil magician who wants to rule the Diadem . . . and needs their souls to accomplish his despicable mission! But the ultimate battle lies ahead when they must face the Triad and discover what the mysterious Diadem rulers have been planning all along.
Book 4
Score, Helaine, and Pixel rush to the planet Dondar to rescue their unicorn friends. Thunder, the noble leader of a herd has lost his title-and almost his life-to Tychus, a rogue unicorn who has a "wrongness" about him that everyone senses. And Helaine notices that the herd is behaving oddly, as if under a spell, with Tychus in charge.
With help from their magical guide Oracle, the wizard Shanara and her sleepy red panda named Blink, and a unicorn named Darkstar, the trio learn more about the new leader of the unicorn herd and his devious scheme that will endanger the entire Diadem.

Book 5
Score falls victim to a deadly illness with only one cure: stopping the mysterious person behind this magical attack. Determined to save their friend, Helaine and Pixel go to Score's hometown, the Earth city of New York, to seek out his attacker, who is using Score's most precious item to hurt him: his mother's amulet.
Finding the amulet proves to be difficult on Earth-an unfamiliar world of cars, skyscrapers, and guns for Helaine and Pixel-where their magical powers are severely weakened. Luckily, the trio stumbles upon a wealthy businessman who promises to help them in return for curing his disabled daughter-but is he really on their side? And then there's Bad Tony, Score's abusive father, fresh from jail, who shows up with gun-toting thugs to kidnap his critically-ill son. Will Helaine and Pixel find the amulet in time to save their dying friend?
