About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is processing the sudden absence or loss of a loved one and needs a safe, imaginative space to explore those feelings. Princess Lana is a relatable protagonist whose world is upended when her grandparents are lost in a shipwreck. Rather than focusing solely on grief, the story channels that emotion into a quest for answers, helping children see that curiosity and bravery can coexist with sadness. This middle grade adventure is perfect for children ages 8 to 12 who enjoy high stakes fantasy but need a narrative that acknowledges the weight of family bonds. While the setting is magical, the emotional core is deeply grounded in the love between generations. It provides a natural opening for parents to discuss the concept of closure and the importance of perseverance when things feel uncertain.
