The Hunt for R. L. Nox


The hunt is on! The Ebrinites are depending on Ed and Mel Davis and their friend Jax to stop R. L. Nox as he is destroying their world bit by bit. Ed and Mel must dig deep to find the strength to stop R. L. while they also fight the spell that hinders their ability to communicate. Will they be able to stop R. L. before his greed completely destroys Ebrin? Or will the challenge ahead be more than they can handle? The fate of Ebrin rests in their hands.


The Hunt for R. L. Nox of the Ed and Mel’s Decodable Adventures series continues the adventure found in The Black Silk Path. Each chapter contains a parent or tutor read-passage, a decodable student passage, and a game to play. New reading concepts are added as Ed and Mel add to their reading and communication skills that were lost when R. L. Nox placed them under a spell. The progression of new skills in The Hunt for R. L. Nox follows the scope and sequence of the Barton Reading & Spelling System Level 4.

    1. Thank you! I have the rough draft of The Hunt for R. L. Nox written. I'm polishing it up and working on the games now. A fun little fact: The villain's name, R. L. Nox, was inspired by the "Rotten Letters" They are noxious at times, aren't they?

  2. First let me thank you for this series! I have 1 student in particular who went through The Black Silk Path last summer and has begged me get the next book. She LOVED it! and when we started up in the fall I noticed a huge jump in her reading ability.
    When I purchased the 1st book I got a pdf of just the 8x10 games for better copying. Is that available with R. L. Knox? And how do I access it?
    Again thank you so very much.
