The Gem People (Volume 1) Logan Mickel 1st edition

Like every other student on Flintchip, Cole Davenport has spent his life mining in dark, dreary tunnels. One day, however, he makes a jaw-dropping discovery?seven people made of jewels sleeping deep inside the mountain. Left by an ancient, powerful race known only as the Engineers, Cole soon learns that the Gem People have a special purpose?one that might change Flintchip forever. If Cole is to protect them, however, he must fight off the adults in his town, journey to far-off Thumbspeake, go to battle with a powerful nation of marauding merchants known as the Train Lords, and even confront the most daunting villain of all?himself.
