Both The Elementals and McDowell’s first novel, The Amulet, are now available as paperbacks and e-books from Valancourt Books and they’ve provided us with the prologue from The Elementals:

Ben Savage will be taking a turn behind the camera to make his directorial debut with an episode of Girl Meets World.
Savage rose to stardom as a child actor in the popular sitcom Boy Meets World (1993-2000), which will be revived this summer when the spinoff, Girl Meets World premieres on the Disney Channel. Savage reprises his role as Cory Matthews alongside his TV wife Danielle Fishel, aka Topanga Matthews, but this time around the show will focus on his tween daughter, Riley (Rowan Blanchard) and her best friend Maya (Sabrina Carpenter).
Savage will be directing an episode in which Riley and Maya give a weird girl a makeover to make her more attractive – in their eyes – to their friend Farkle (Corey Fogelmanis). In the end, they realize that true beauty isn’t what’s on the outside. The plot is somewhat reminiscent of early episodes of Boy Meets World,...
