The Mission to Mythica

Kids’ Stories Book

For ten-year-old Leonard, the attic was just a dusty kingdom of forgotten things. But when he stumbles upon a mysterious humming box, he finds the greatest treasure of all: a map made of starlight that leads to a world beyond his wildest dreams. He tumbles through a ripple in the air and into Mythica, a breathtaking land of floating islands, glowing rivers, and creatures straight out of a fairytale. Yet, a shadow is falling over this magical realm. A sad, Silent King sits on a throne of ice, and the land’s vibrant magic is fading fast. To save Mythica, Leonard must embark on an impossible mission. Joined by a grumpy gnome, a friendly Cloud Giant, and a dragon who has lost his spark, he must navigate the tricky Whispering Woods, escape the clutches of the creeping Shadow Snatchers, and solve a riddle that has stumped Mythica’s wisest creatures. Can one ordinary boy find the courage to face the darkness and reignite the Heart of Mythica before its light goes out forever?
