2001 children's novel series

The Magickers is a series of children's fantasy novels by author Rhondi A. Vilott Salsitz under the pseudonym Emily Drake. Four books were published between 2001 and 2004, and an omnibus edition, The Magickers Chronicles, was published in 2010.

Jason Jason is the leader of the 7 kids who hid and stayed behind when the others from the camp were sent home with their memories of what really happened at camp erased, when the camp was attacked by the dark hand. Jason has the rare ability to be a Gatekeeper, meaning he can open and close the gates that lead between different worlds and dimensions. The first gate he opens is the Iron Gate which he accidentally found on the other side of the Ravenwyng Lake. By opening this gate at the end of the 1st book he saves the camp. Later, he opens the Water Gate (the second book) and the Dragon Gate (the third book.) The last gate required that he defeat the Dragon that guarded the gate which he succeeded in doing. Barley, the dragon, later become a friend of his and occasionally helps the magickers. By opening all three gates Jason makes it possible for them to get into the magical dimension of Haven. Bailey Is a Beast speaker. Her familiar is a little pack rat whose eyes she can see through with a bit of practice, she later adopts a wolfjackal pup who parents are killed in the battle at the end of Gate Of Bones. She is best friend with Ting. In the first book Bailey has an accident that causes her to vanish into thin air. The older magickers are at a loss as to what happened until Jason realizes that Bailey is not lost in space but rather in time. She had managed to put herself slightly out of sync with the rest of the world. She is then quickly retrieved, no worse for her adventure. Stefan Is a SkinWalker, who, when he gets upset or stressed he turns into a young Grizzly bear. During Gate of Bones he learns to use a sword and is found to be a berserker. Trent Trent is the oddball of the magickers group as he does not have magick that works the same way as the others. While the others can form Shields or throw bolts of energy, he can see thing they cannot. This becomes very helpful as he can see the magic that makes up trap spells and such, allowing them to get into the Dark Hand's base undetected. Ting Ting was average as far as abilities, until at the Gate Of Bones when she gets the pearl her grandfather once used for magic, and gains the ability to become a small pink Oriental dragon. In dragon form she is only about 2 feet long and is jokingly called a "Hedge Dragon" by Bailey, who is her best friend

Rich Rich is Stefan's friend and keeps him out of trouble when he turns into his bear form. Henry Henry shows an amazingly powerful talent for fire magic to the point of burning his eyebrows off at one point while he was learning to make their crystals glow. Jonnar manages to link Henry to himself at some point, though, and is continuously draining his magic which makes Henry very weak.
