About the story
Twelve-year-old Sara has always felt a connection to the natural world she couldn’t quite explain. But after a wildfire drives her family east to a grandmother she barely knows, strange things start happening. Her eyes change color. A mushroom speaks to her. And a voice from deep beneath the earth delivers a warning she can’t ignore.
She’s not just a girl. She’s a force of nature.
Armed with powers she doesn’t fully understand, Sara must protect Pine Island — the last undeveloped island on the East Coast — from the greedy forces closing in on it. But when she discovers that the greatest threat may come from someone she loves, saving the world starts to feel a lot more complicated.
Sara Storm: The Midnight Message is the first book in The Pinecone Pathway Series.
