The Kingdom over the Sea

Zohra Nabi, Tom Clohosy Cole (illustrator)

A fantasy adventure with vibrant world building that pits alchemists (forces of greed and manipulation) against sorcerers (respect for learning, poetry, storytelling and nature). Yara is our brave and resourceful heroine, who goes through a portal from normal-world Bournemouth to an Arabia-inspired kingdom complete with djinn and flying carpet. In addition to saving the magical world, newly orphaned Yara has to fight her own battle with grief and try to build a sense of belonging.

Ages 8-12
