Readers’ Favorite Review Excerpt
“Lily’s view of the world is different and is perfectly depicted by images that show her being sensitive to sounds and light, and having thoughts of wild animals. I loved the beautiful illustrations because they were colorful and corresponded perfectly with the story. I hope to read more from this author because this is a brilliant work. I highly recommend parents and caregivers read this book with their children, teach them how to be brave, and assure them of your love and care.”

Fans of A Wrinkle in Time and Alice in Wonderland will enjoy Snow Globe Travelers.
In the heart of Vienna, 12-year-old Sarah Ann Reisende wanders into a mysterious shop where snow globes double as portals to other worlds. After breaking the globe tethered to Earth, she discovers a cryptic note scribbled on the back of a photograph. The note links her father, who left before her third birthday, to a place called Elohi. Could this be a chance to find her father at last?
Unable to return home, Sarah follows the lead into the world of Elohi. But an army of vicious hybrids led by a genetically engineered warrior named Malvine now rules the once peaceful planet, and she becomes a target as Malvine wants to use the shop’s connections to wage war.
Can Sarah uncover the truth behind her father leaving and find a way home before Malvine gains control of the shop?
