Written in the spirit of C. S. Lewis — designed for family reading, moral reflection, critical thinking, and simple STEM moments you can do at home.
House of Shirzan — Tales from the Glimmerglass is a seven-book fantasy series written in the style of C. S. Lewis. Ross A. Kennedy, the Author, wrote these books for his own daughter as bedtime reading as a subtle way to teach moral lessons, develop critical thinking, and introduce simple STEM lessons the family could do at home.
Book One, The Waters of the White Stag, is where we first meet a young girl on her first day at camp. While on a nature hike, she and three friends break from the group when they follow a White Stag deep into the woods toward something the counselors never mentioned.
Some paths are older than camps. Some invitations do not repeat. And sometimes a week that should have been ordinary becomes the beginning of a life-shaping journey.
A glimpse. A wrong turn that feels strangely right. And water, waiting ahead.
Beyond the water, the story changes.
Explore the deeper history, customs, creatures, and guiding ideas behind the world of Glimmerglass.
