THE GUARDIANS OF EARTH
Oona and the Luminous Beings* (8-12 years old)
“Celebrating the beauty of the natural world, The Guardians of Earth is a poetic middle grade fantasy novel filled with epic adventures beyond imagination. A love letter to Earth for our times."
Oona is not an orphan, but with a cruel father and an eccentric mother, she feels very much alone. On the eve of her eleventh birthday, Oona discovers that she can communicate with animals and feel their emotions. One night, her flower starts to speak to her, and she’s summoned into a parallel dimension by a magnificent woman: Eterna, the spirit of Earth.
Eterna tells her that eons ago, every human used to be connected to Earth’s heart by filaments of light. The planet was a paradise, and all lived in harmony with nature. The Dark Planet, jealous of Earth’s beauty, severed the luminous ties, slowly killing the planet, destroying trees, polluting oceans, and hunting animals to extinction. Only one child may activate the Supreme Crystal, infused with the light of a peaceful species far more advanced than humans, to restore the sacred cordons of light between mankind and nature.
To save Earth and mankind, Oona must accept her sacred mission as a Guardian of Earth: resolve the enigmas of the three keys and find the Supreme Crystal before the next solar eclipse.
Oona, along with Aqiwo, and Nawal, her fellow Guardians of Earth, must navigate the pyramids of Giza and a mysterious monastery to retrieve the Supreme Crystal and fulfill the prophecy. Oona will need to gain self-confidence and learn that she deserves love to resolve the enigmas of the three keys and save the planet.
What if you were also a Guardian of Earth?
