Lost Legends

Series · 4 books

By Jen Calonita

The second book in a new middle grade series that features the adventures of Disney's most lovable roguish heroes as kids! Before he defeated Jafar…Aladdin was just a poor boy in streets of Agrabah. "Do you trust me?" Twelve-year-old Aladdin has spent his entire life roaming the desert as a part of a tribe of nomads. He has nothing to his name except the stars in the sky, the clothes on his back, and a peculiar necklace left to him by his late mother. But that doesn't bother Aladdin—he doesn't want much. If he had three wishes, he would only ask for one thing: a home. A place to belong. When Aladdin is separated from his tribe in Agrabah, he feels drawn to the city's bustling streets. This is a place of possibilities, one that Aladdin might even be able to call his own. Facing a whole new world with magic lurking around every corner, Aladdin soon joins a group of "collectors" who teach him what it means to be a street rat. Aladdin will need to put those skills and his good heart to the test when whispers of a mysterious "diamond" catch up with him and threaten to destroy his new home. Filled with heart-pounding perils and rambunctious mischief, the Lost Legends series explores the untold origins of Disney's most infamous rogue boys.

Hi Goodreads! I'm Jen Calonita, a MG and YA author who loves what I do because it lets me connect with all of you (and no, I wasn't intending for that to rhyme!). I've been writing ever since I can remember, but it was fourth grade when I put my "three wishes" for a genie down on paper. They were:

1. Buy all the Cabbage Patch Kids in the world and give them away for free (because apparently that was how I rolled).

2. I wanted a mansion, limo, lake house, pool and speed boat (still sounds quite nice).

3. I wanted to be an author for young readers, which I am!

I love writing novels for teens (and for savvy grown ups who know that YA rocks at any age). My first series was "Secrets of My Hollywood Life" and it followed a teen star named Kaitlin Burke who struggled with the fame game. I have also written the stand-alone novels Sleepaway Girls, it's companion book, Summer State of Mind and the Belles series. I've been writing middle grade too and am having so much fun with my series Fairy Tale Reform School! The fourth book in this series about a school run by former villains is called Tricked and will be out March 2018. Ever wonder what it would be like if your parents got a job with someone like Taylpr Swift? My other middle grade series, VIP, follows super fan Mackenzie Lowell as she tours with her favorite band, Perfect Storm. I promise to give book updates here, and on Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, or my website. I hope I hear from you! xo Jen
