The Magic Library of Waterfall Way
(2026)(The first book in the Prophecymakers series)
A novel by Julie Abe
In this delightful cozy fantasy, an Unremarkable girl with a remarkable destiny must save a magic library to find her forever home. Perfect for fans of Greenwild and Kiki's Delivery Service!
The Alterran Empire hasn't seen an Unremarkable in centuries . . . until Lyra Hunt. All Lyra wants is a guild to call home--preferably one with a library full of storybooks--but because she is cursed with horrible luck, nearly everyone has rejected her.
Then Lyra stumbles upon the secretive Guild of Scholars in the cozy village of Waterfall Way. With their tight-knit community and magical Library, this might finally be the perfect place for her. However, to be accepted, she must recover the Scholars' crystal, the source of their magic that was lost in a terrible fire. With the help of a mischievous furry friend, Lyra must brave the Library's cursed halls.
Lyra may have an Extremely Unremarkable past, but she'll do whatever it takes to find a home where she belongs.
Genre: Children's Fiction
