Iyanwa

When 12-year-old Izzy watches the emergency lights fade, she realizes a hard truth - no one is coming for her brother, Lucas. Except Nana knows where he is. And if Lucas has any chance of making it home, it would be up to her.

Armed with a backpack of peculiar objects, her threadbare stuffed animal, and an undying promise, Izzy ventures to a mysterious island shrouded in legend. Guided by ghostly figures and unlikely friends, she uncovers a world where magic is as natural as the wind - but its dangers have trapped many before.

With time running out, Izzy must summon all her courage to find Lucas before the island takes him forever . . . just like it did her sister many years before.

"Alone, we are nothing. Together, we are everything."

A fantasy adventure story that focuses on life and death through an eerie yet enchanting otherworld. Highly recommended for ages 9-11.
