Additional details on the book:

Rella's parents, Winter and Julian, are part of a secret alliance of Storykeepers. First, her mother disappears. Then, a few years later, when her father goes missing, Rella is forced to flee her home in the rural village of Ensea (Earth One). In flight, she is mysteriously transported (beneath her grandmother's green quilt) to the magical world of Hleo.

In Hleo she embarks on a quest and teams up with a fellowship of four other children: Eurie, Quinn, Scarlett and The Wooden Boy Sebastian.

Also appearing are an assortment of wild, mysterious and whimsical animal guardians: Thalas (a giant, strong-willed hawk), Alister (a sleepy bear who exists halfway in and halfway out of tree trunks), and Menagerie (a shapeshifting-tiger with a sacred family lineage).

Will Rella be able to destroy the plague and help save the enchanted refuge of Hleo? Will she find out the truth about her parents? Will the guardians and the fellowship of children be able to save The Wondercurrent... and The Red Notebooks?

Note from the author: "When I started this series, my dream was to lay a foundation for young fantasy and science fiction readers (or potential fantasy and sci-fi fans) that would entertain and encourage unbounded, imaginative thinking. When a 10, 12, or 14 year old picks up my books, I want them to feel safe, to escape from the stress and busyness of everyday life and technology, and to be filled with absolute wonder. There is a Wondercurrent in all of us."

Jason (J.R.) Parks is also the owner of ParksWrites and author of the middle-grade poetry and mystery novel Ari's Poetics.
