Chosen as the new Guardian of the Library of Lost Stories, Lea discovers that stories are alive-and that some of them are fading. To save them, she must step inside the books themselves, becoming part of the tales she reads. Her first journey leads her to the Island of Lost Things, a place where everything lost can be found... for a price. There, Lea must help a boy trapped between memory and loss, while learning the true cost of holding on to the past. A magical middle-grade fantasy about books, courage, friendship, and the power of stories. Perfect for readers who love mysterious libraries, hidden worlds, and unforgettable adventures.
