Great Middle Grade Reads discussion

Hi All -
My name is Kara, and I write under the pen name Amanda Marisol (a combo of my daughters’ middle names).
I would like to let you know about my newly released novel - The Preserve for Enchanted Creatures.
Here’s the blurb

After the kidnapping of her mother by the Darkentine Council, Mellia Kelgwyn’s life falls apart. Though she is at odds with her father, they are both sent to the Preserve for Enchanted Creatures.

There, she quickly makes friends with a troll and a wizard respectively, with whom she must best Darkentine poachers to rescue a highly coveted magical flock of origami cranes that hold the secret to immortality.

Will Mellia and her friends survive the journey and save the cranes?

Available on Amazon.
Looking forward to connecting with you bookish people.

A magical flock of origami cranes? Sounds interesting! Congrats on the new release. :)
