Realms of Dusk: An Emotional Fantasy Adventure About Family Bonds and the Power of Imagination for Kids Ages 11-14 (The Library of Lost Dreams Book 4)

HAVE YOU HEARD OF THE BROCCOLI EFFECT?
It's like the Butterfly Effect, only heavier. And messier.

One crack between worlds was all it took. Now the ash is seeping through, and somewhere in this world there's another Dahlia. One who forgot how to laugh. She has her reasons. You'll see.

To stop a cat who thinks he's a god, Dahlia needs her little brother. Yes. Tudor. The one who never stops talking and is absolutely convinced a kendama doubles as a weapon. Or maybe Tudor needs her. Honestly, I'm not sure anymore who's saving who.

But the hardest fight isn't with the cat. It's with that feeling when someone says in a minute and the minute never comes. With the fear that you could disappear and no one would notice. And with the discovery that sometimes magic smells exactly like warm food.

The good news? Someone always notices.

Think Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse meets Coraline (but with way more muffins and a very grumpy cat).

P.S. Sol here. You missed me. Don't deny it, we go way back. So you know how this works. I hope you brought muffins. Showing up empty-handed is just rude. Thank you in advance.

A Note from the Author
Of all the books in the series, Realms of Dusk is the most personal. While the magic, the flying books, and the grumpy cat are pure imagination, the emotional core is entirely real. Writing about the struggles of being truly present for the people we love, and the beautiful, messy bonds between siblings, made this the most personal story I’ve ever told. I hope it brings your family as much warmth and connection as it brought mine. Andrei Goanta
