When thirteen-year-old Emma and her best friends Lily and Ava find a centuries old treasure map while cleaning out Lily's grandmother's attic, they have no idea they're about to be pulled into a magical adventure beyond their wildest dreams. After receiving enchanted seashell hair clips from an enigmatic shopkeeper named Agnes, the girls are visited in their dreams by Iris, a fairy who begs for their help to save her dying kingdom.
But not everything is as it seems. As the three friends embark on a quest to gather three magical items—a powerful wand, a truth-revealing mirror, and a mystical tiara—they begin to suspect they're being manipulated for a darker purpose. With their hometown slowly falling under a sinister spell and time running out, Emma, Lily, and Ava must uncover long-buried secrets, face their deepest fears, and learn who they can really trust before Shoreline Bay is lost forever.
In this enchanting middle-grade fantasy, friendship and courage are put to the ultimate test as three ordinary girls discover that sometimes the most powerful magic lies not in spells or enchantments, but in the strength of standing together.
From the Author:
My name is Alora Johnson, and I’m a 13-year-old author and actress based in Atlanta. Creativity has always been my way of expressing myself, especially as I worked through trauma. I was adopted at six, after spending years in the foster care system—a journey that shaped me and gave me a unique perspective. I’ve also been diagnosed with PTSD, something I’m open about because I believe there’s no shame in having experienced trauma. In fact, those experiences inspired me to write. The idea for my book came from a dream, and I’ve spent the last two years bringing it to life with help from my mom and older sister. Each of the three main characters holds a piece of me; in some way, they each represent a part of my journey and my hopes for the future. People often call me an “old soul,” and I think that’s because I connect deeply with stories and characters, especially those with complex paths. My biggest hope is to show other foster kids that their past doesn’t define them. They have the power to dream big, to be seen, and to know they’re important.
The Curse of the Fairy Tree is a story of friendship, bravery, and big dreams. Emma and her two best friends, Lily and Ava, discover an ancient map in Emma’s grandma’s attic, leading them to hidden secrets in their small beach town, Shoreline Bay. From magical hair clips and pirate legends to a mysterious fairy who appears in Emma’s dreams, they’re pulled into an adventure filled with clues, danger, and an old curse. As they work to break the curse, they learn that friendship and believing in each other’s strengths can overcome any obstacle. It’s a journey that shows kids, especially those who’ve faced hard times, that magic is real when you stick together and dream big.

The call of the open road, the music that fuels them, and the night that changed everything… In the early 1990s, amidst the gritty allure of Southern California’s burgeoning music scene, 18-year-old Denver finds herself at a crossroads. Her father has been missing for over a year, leaving behind a void that haunts her every moment. After high school graduation, Denver and her best friend hit the road for a transformative journey across the country.
Follow the two as they embark on a wandering, rock and roll-fueled road trip in search of Denver’s missing father. In the process, they find themselves.
After losing her mother to suicide as a young child, Denver’s early life was fraught with trouble and heartache. Now, as an 18-year-old in the early 1990s with her father missing for over a year, the call of a different life – particularly the growing Southern California music scene – is the catalyst for an adventure that begins the trajectory of the rest of her life. With dreams of opening a vintage clothing store and record shop, the friends leave home behind. As they encounter strangers, narrowly escape mishaps, and navigate the transition out of their teenage naivety – all the while searching for Denver’s father – the two girls learn invaluable lessons about friendship, acceptance, and resilience.
This true story of the author’s life is filled with twists and turns, exciting discoveries, and poignant growth, all described with beautiful clarity and careful detail. From the dangers of traveling the country with little to fall back on to appearing in the iconic Smells Like Teen Spirit music video, Noel brings readers on an emotionally charged, transformative ride toward healing past traumas and coming to terms with the joys and disappointments of reality as it truly is.
The memoir’s underlying message is one of acceptance and resolve, teaching readers that they aren’t alone in the twists and turns of their own stories. Through determination and hope, Denver’s healing journey is a lesson for people from all walks of life, a reminder that our paths are often messy, nonlinear, imperfect, and well worth the effort.
With nods to the flourishing grunge scene of the 90s, introspective moments of young adult angst, unexpected setbacks, and powerful moments of triumph, this inspiring tale is an invitation for readers to embark on their own journeys of healing and discovery, and ultimately, a tribute to the unconditional love a daughter has for her father.
Sometimes the best way to understand history… is to live it, even just for a page or two.
What begins as a classic Fourth of July celebration quickly transforms into a journey through time in Kathleen Whitham’s Fourth of July Adventure—a cheerful, imaginative, and powerfully educational children’s book that turns American history into an unforgettable adventure.
Young readers follow Olivia, Graham, and Amelia as they unexpectedly stumble upon a mysterious time machine nestled in the woods behind their house. With childlike curiosity and fearless excitement, the trio travels through pivotal moments in U.S. history—witnessing the signing of the Declaration of Independence in 1776, absorbing Lincoln’s stirring words at Gettysburg in 1863, and feeling the heartbeat of the civil rights movement in 1963 as Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. declares his dream.
Each stop along the way is more than a lesson—it’s an experience. History comes to life in ways that are colorful, emotional, and incredibly human. And when the children return to the present, they carry with them more than stories—they carry meaning, pride, and questions worth discussing.
A joyful, educational, and imaginative journey through American history—perfectly wrapped in red, white, and blue. —Hollywood Book Review
