CRYSTAL CAVERNS IV: The Mirror-Lakes Enigma

When two moons rise over a quiet garden pond, siblings James and Mia know ordinary bedtime is canceled. Guided by a glowing map, their best friend Lyra, and a wink from a mischievous goblin, they step through a liquid doorway into Mirror-Lakes—a realm where foot-prints appear before you walk, lightning hardens into humming bridges, and a silver fox can steal the sound right out of your throat.

Inside this topsy-turvy world the trio must outsmart rainbow geysers, row invisible rails, and face mirrors that show the loneliest futures imaginable. To save Lyra's voice—and their own memories—they'll trade riddles with a stained-glass turtle, bargain with a nine-tailed shard-fox, and re-start the pulsing Echo-Heart that keeps the lakes alive.

Every challenge asks the same question: Will you let fear write your story—or will friendship draw a braver one?

Perfect for readers 8 - 12 who love The Last Firehawk and Amari and the Night Brothers, this sparkling adventure glows with teamwork, quick thinking, and the magic of believing imperfect heroes can still save the day.
