About The Series
The new young adult fantasy series, The Guardians of Elemental Magic, was written to be both entertaining and educational. It is geared towards young people of color interested in pursuing careers in the Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math (S.T.E.A.M) Fields.
The artist and author, Jayde Frederick, is passionate about encouraging and inspiring minorities to pursue these careers as well as increasing the visibility of minorities in STEAM in the media. While it is meant to be a fun and entertaining read, mature themes are found throughout, as fiction, no matter how fantastical, will always reflect an aspect of reality.
The first book is available now and the funds will be used to support the continuation of the series.
