Spinning off from the Chronicles of the Imagination series, Parallel Encounters - The Prism's Echo takes us to the planet Staranana less than a week after Scotty and his friends have returned from the deep biblical past. With relaxation being the word of the day, the Starananians soon find themselves in the vast halls of the Palace library where a mysterious book called The Prism's Echo is brought to their attention. To the naked eye, it is just a book, but to a reader with the right question, it opens the door to infinite possible realities. Unfortunately for Scotty, the wrong question lands him stranded in an alternate universe where humanity has fallen to a space age Nazi regime. To get home, he'll have to enlist the help of a new rebellion, and even come face to face with his own rough-edged alter ego, before confronting the new head of the Nazi himself - Emperor Saki Chu. Is this adventure just a fantasy perpetrated by a mystical book, or is this parallel encounter one that will forever change the course of two universes?

How does a coward become a hero? Henry Fleming is about to face that very question. Hearing the call to serve in one of our nation's greatest conflicts, the American Civil War, Henry leaves both home and family to take up the life of a Union soldier. However, though he had, "...dreamed of battles all his life..." and "...imagined peoples secure in the shadow of his eagle-eyed prowess..." he soon finds that the soldier's life is more than he bargained for, and a single wrong decision runs the risk of branding him a coward for what little of his life he thinks he has left. Broken pride, fear, and guilt become secondary battlefields on which Henry must struggle even as the war continues to rage around him. Will he ultimately find the hero within, earning, if necessary, his own red badge of courage, or will he die a coward? This enhanced edition includes journals, discussion questions, essay prompts and vocabulary activities great for use in the classroom.

The race is on! The Prism's Echo has unlocked an endless expanse of alternate realities for Scotty and the Starananians, but the question remains - do those parallel universes cease to exist the instant the book's ancient cover is snapped shut? That's a question Emperor Scotty can't seem to shake, and the fate of his friends in the Nazi controlled universe weighs heavily on his mind. He and Gloria ponder what might have happened to the rebels, and their imaginings are nothing short of extraordinary. Four tense, but quiet years have passed for the rebels since they captured the Nazi Space Port, and Captain Brooks wonders when the inevitable retaliation will come. As the station's supplies and energy draw near to total depletion, hope comes in the form of a mysterious and evidently abandoned alien spacecraft floating dead in space. Called the Rimcha, Brooks hopes to salvage the alien vessel and incorporate its resources into those of the rebellion. But there's a problem; the Nazis have spotted the alien ship too, and now the race is on to see who will capture the vessel first. If it's the rebellion, Earth may finally be liberated, but if it's the Nazis, any hope of further resistance may be crushed forever.
