Set in a magical world where five ordinary girls juggle middle school and elemental powers, this installment focuses on Cornelia's secret mission to rescue her former best friend from a path of darkness.

It is highly appropriate for the 8 to 12 age range, offering a wholesome but emotionally resonant adventure that champions loyalty and the courage to seek closure.
