Quantum League Book 1: Spell Robbers

>>> Update: I get a LOT of email and blog comments asking when the second book in the series will be out. I wish I had a definitive answer. I can tell you I’ve written the second book, and my publisher has it, but it’s up to them when it comes out. The best thing to do is to tell your local bookseller you’re ready for it and you want it. <<<

A “high-energy spy story.” – Kirkus

“Kirby infuses this action-packed spy thriller with layers of moral ambiguity… This first book in the Quantum League series provides satisfying partial closure, while intriguing storylines to be developed will leave readers eager for the next installment.” – Publishers Weekly

Synopsis:

After Ben Warner is recruited to join a “science camp” led by the eccentric quantum physicist Dr. Madeleine Hughes, he quickly realizes it’s no regular science camp. Along with his new friend, Peter, Ben discovers the secret, powerful art of Actuation–the ability to change reality by simply imagining it differently.

When a mysterious group of men invade Dr. Hughes’s laboratory, abducting her and stealing her precious equipment, Ben and Peter are suddenly caught up in a turf war between dangerous actuators desperate for Dr. Hughes’s innovative technology. And as Ben and Peter are pulled into a perilous, hidden world full of impossibilities now made possible, will their combined powers be enough to save Dr. Hughes and vanquish their enemies before it’s too late?

From Edgar Award-winning author Matthew J. Kirby comes a fast-paced, boldly imagined tale of friendship, deadly adventure, and the infinite power of imagination.

  3. I’ve been an avid fan of this book for about 5 years now and I just wanted to say how much I appreciate this book! I await the day I can reread it and read book 2 alongside it!

  6. I’ve been waiting for book 2 for 6 years. He finished book 2 like 4-5 years ago and it’s still not here.

  8. I first read this book years ago and absolutely loved it and I’ve read it at least twice more since! I would really appreciate it if we could just get a PDF or something if the publisher is not going to get it out!

  12. i read the 1st book in 2nd grade and im in 8th now. that update has been up there for years with no other response. at this point guys im sorry to say but i dont think book 2 will ever come out.

  15. I have discovered they are significantly more accommodating and the specialized help individuals will really realize what you are discussing, and afterward they will connect you with the sales reps to handle your request.

  16. Read this in 7th grade and I’m about to graduate high school lol. Hoping book 2 comes out soon.

  17. How long has your publisher had book 2 now? I first read book 1 about 5-6 years ago and since then has re-checked it out to reread it about 10 times, and I’m really curious about book 2, since book 1 ended on such a cliffhanger with Ben.

  18. Hi, I have read this book in 4th grade and still have my original copy of it, and I fell in love with it and sparked my curiosity into a whole new world of genre’s and have been waiting 7 long years for the new book and am sad to see nothing yet ):

  20. My classes have been reading this book for the past 5 years. I will have my students bombard scholastic with emails asking them to release the sequel. Scholastic gave me this email. slpservice@scholastic.com.

  21. I read book one for the first time years ago and have read it as least twice more since. I know it wouldn’t be ideal but if you publisher isn’t going to give us the book is there a way you could send a pdf or something in your newsletter?

  22. I’m so sad today. I have been doing this book in my school for many years now and my students love it. Today I received an email saying that the book isn’t available anymore, so I won’t be able to do Quantum League in class. I don’t understand how an amazing book like this goes out of print.

  26. Ah man! Well thanks for letting us know that it’s at least in the works. I hope they decide to publish it!!! It’s too good not to. Reading all these comments and seeing people like myself, who read the first one years ago and are STILL curious and thinking about a second book should be reason enough! It was so good… An absolutely lovely read. Thank you, and hopefully the second one comes out before I die. I’m definitely getting up there haha

  27. I have ahd to replace my book because I kept on rereading it so much. I have been waiting years for the second book. Your the author and it’s you work don’t you have a say when stuff gets published as well? Cause a whole bunch of people want this second book to get published
