Magical treehouses, superhero powers, ancient secrets and magical artifacts intertwine to make an unforgettable fantasy world at the Fort Fernbottom School of Magic!

Golden glitter on her pillow is the least of Jalina (Nina) Jons’ worries when a man in a black suit arrives with news that shatters her world. Suddenly orphaned and torn from their family home, Nina and her brother Jake find themselves bound for the infamous Owenroake Children’s Home. But behind its grim facade of cruel wardens and meager gruel lies an extraordinary secret: magical "Areas" where impossible superhero powers flourish. Just as Nina uncovers her own mysterious powers at Fort Fernbottom, a treasure hunt competition turns into chaos with life-threatening odds. With her team now stranded in hostile territory, Nina must unlock abilities she never knew she possessed if they’re to survive the dangers closing in around them. But will it be in time?

Perfect as a family read-aloud or an independent middle-grade fantasy escape. Ideal for readers aged 9-14 and students in Grades 4-8, but other adventure seekers will enjoy it too!
