The Tukor's Journey
Siblings Mitch, Tony, and Jovi discover that mysterious creatures called Grezniks are close to achieving their mission: blowing up Earth and shattering Life to bits. Over the centuries, Grezniks have nearly succeeded many times. But each time, their efforts have been foiled by Tukors and their allies.
Now, Grezniks are closer than ever before, and no one knows if any Tukors are left in the world to stop them. Mitch, Tony, and Jovi are unexpectedly invited to help defeat the Grezniks, but will they have the courage to join the battle?

The Tukor's Battle
The Tukor adventure continues spectacularly in The Tukor’s Battle, the second book in the Tukor series.
In The Tukor’s Battle, the three siblings, Mitch, Tony, and Jovi, continue their mission to stop the Grezniks from blowing up Earth. The stakes are even higher. The fiercely destructive Grezniks capture the blue stones, a powerful element not yet discovered by anyone else. Except Tukors. With the stones, Grezniks can destabilize Earth’s orbit, shatter Earth like glass, and finally escape.
The speed at which Grezniks capture this destructive power makes it impossible for Tukors to stop them. Will anyone choose to help the Tukors? Who will side with the Grezniks?
The rejected seven-legged Greznik, Skarb, is desperate to be accepted into the powerful Greznik regiment. Despite being rejected for centuries, the seven-legger is determined to prove its worth by helping the regiment shatter Earth to bits. Skarb makes an important discovery. If the regiment finally accepts the rejected Greznik, together they can blow up Earth and escape their earthly cage.
If they succeed, every bit of Life will be no more. Not even the Tukors know how to stop them. Is there anyone who can?

Jeannine Kellogg’s imagination just flows
What a fun and adventurous book! Jeannine Kellogg’s imagination just flows through the page and brings Mitch, Tony, and Jovi to life with such vividness. Would recommend if you like book series like “The Spiderwick Chronicles” by Tony DiTerlizzi and Holly Black or “Fablehaven” by Brandon Mull.

it was the best book he’s ever read
This is the book that made my 11 year old son a reader! I’ve been trying to find books that would get him excited about reading and bought him this book a couple months ago. He read it all in a couple days and said it was the best book he’s ever read. Now he reads about two books a week.

About Jeannine Kellogg
Jeannine loves a grand adventure and a great story. She has traveled to fifteen countries and her adventures include hiking in New Zealand, sea-kayaking above the Arctic Circle, and wading through rice fields in Thailand. Yet she has grown certain that the great inspirations are found not in distant adventures, but in the often-overlooked details of everyday life.
