In the elemental world of MarBryn, where the ancient law reads No Metal, No Magic, alchemist-wizard Samarinda wields power drawn from Samarium, Element 62, rarest of the rare earths. When a mining town’s ore begins glowing with stolen magic, Samarinda and her fire-tufted familiar, the Alchemical Cat, uncover a rogue alchemist’s plot to trigger a magical meltdown that could unmake the world. Joined by a fearless engineer, a moon-folding owl, a Cobalt Guild mage, and a reformed apprentice, Samarinda must master seven powers rooted in real chemistry, from neutron-absorbing shields to curse-breaking precision, before her enemy achieves catastrophic Ascension. Book 62 of the Magical Elementals Chemistry Fantasy Series delivers real science, unforgettable magic, and nonstop action for middle-grade and YA fantasy readers who love elemental magic systems, found-family adventure, clever humor, and strong, capable female leads, with each installment exploring a different element of the periodic table of the real world in loving, imaginative detail.
Teachers and homeschool educators get more than a story: a free companion lesson plan turns this novel into a ready-to-teach, five-day cross-curricular unit for grades 6 through 8, flexing younger or older depending on depth desired. Built directly from the book’s chapters and its own Term, Real Science, Story Magic glossary, the unit pairs reading comprehension and vocabulary instruction with real physical-science content on the periodic table, rare earth elements, magnetism, radioactive isotopes, photoluminescence, and neutron absorption. It includes day-by-day lesson flows, discussion questions, hands-on classroom activities like a lanthanide card sort and a magnet station, a creative capstone project where students invent their own elemental wizard, a four-point grading rubric, differentiation notes for younger and advanced learners, and a teacher answer key mapping every magical power back to its real-world chemistry.
Perfect for classroom read-alouds, STEM enrichment, homeschool science-and-literature units, or library and makerspace programming, Samarinda proves real chemistry can be just as thrilling as fantasy magic.
