The Lost Scrolls Collection
In another age, power is balanced among four great nations: water, earth, fire, air. Leaders of each nation are able to manipulate — bend — their native element. Only one bender, the Avatar, whose spirit is reincarnated through the years, can master all four elements — and is the one who can maintain the world order. When the Avatar disappeared a hundred years ago, the Fire Nation attacked. All hope was lost ... until the arrival of Aang, a twelve-year-old airbender, who reveals himself as the new Avatar. And he must now save the world from being dominated by the Fire Nation.

The Lost Scrolls: Water

 * On page twenty-two of The Lost Scrolls Collection a sentence reads, "All he ever wanted was to do was protect us," with an excess "was".

The Lost Scrolls: Fire

 * On page 134 of The Lost Scrolls Collection the "Based on screenplays by" notice spells "Bryan Konietzko" as "Brian Konietzko", with an "I" in place of a "Y".
 * Ironically, the very next credit on the screenplay notice is "John O'Bryan", spelled correctly with an "Y".
 * This same mistake and its irony is repeated on the credit page of The Lost Scrolls: Air.
