The Trouble With Portals

After a year in the Realm of Reason, helping to prevent a violent uprising and the overthrow of the King, Nikki Murrow returns home to Madison Wisconsin. Her relief at getting home is quickly shattered when she realizes that the leader of the uprising has followed her through the portal between the Realm and Madison.

The Trouble With Portals continues Nikki Murrow's adventures after she returns home from the Realm of Reason. It is the first book in the series Logic to the Rescue 2. If you would like to read about Nikki's adventures in the Realm try the original series: Logic to the Rescue.

Lost in a fantasy world, Nikki has only logic and science to help her find her way home. The Logic to the Rescue series is designed to teach kids critical thinking.

Simple examples for testing a hypothesis and setting up experiments in chemistry, physics, and biology are integrated into the plot. The Logic to the Rescue series is a useful addition to a home library for kids ages 10 to 14. The series is designed to kick-start kids' interest in logic, critical thinking, and science through the use of an engrossing story.
