The Paradox of Planet Prime

Kids’ Stories Book

By: Ayokunle Mathew Akinbi

Narrated by: Brian Miller

Regan wasn't just a stargazer; he was a star-hunter. Most nights, he just watched the familiar constellations, but one night, a star blinked back. It wasn't a twinkle, but a deliberate, sapphire-blue pulse, like a secret message just for him. That single blink triggers an adventure beyond his wildest dreams. The invitation leads him to a dusty attic, where a sleek, silver spaceship lies hidden, humming softly and smelling of starlight and ozone. In an instant, Regan is zipped across the galaxy to Planet Prime, a breathtaking world bathed in golden light, where the air smells of honey and spices, and the ground shimmers with every step. But this paradise is deeply strange. Regan soon discovers: The Forest of Upside-Down Trees, where roots reach for the sky.

The River That Flows to its Source, pulling water uphill in a gentle, warm current. The City That Isn't There, a beautiful, ghostly illusion he can walk right through. This world is caught in a "paradox." The biggest danger of all is the Forgetting Mist, a swirling, iridescent fog that steals memories, making visitors forget their homes, their names, and even themselves. Regan meets Lyra, a mysterious girl with skin like jade and hair like liquid starlight. She is the only one who remembers the planet's past. Together, they must journey to the Planet's Hidden Heart, guided by backward footprints and an ancient riddle. They must race to find the magical Twins of Time and rebalance the planet before the Forgetting Mist erases Lyra, Regan, and all of Prime forever. The Paradox of Planet Prime is a thrilling adventure where a young explorer must hold onto his most precious memories to save a world that's forgetting how to exist.
