Helithia's Quest

Helithia's Quest begins the way many adventures do - quietly, harmlessly, and in the last place anyone expects: a middle-school locker.

Helithia tries her best to avoid trouble, but somehow it always finds her. Her only real friend, Rurally Richi - known simply as RR - is used to Helithia's strange luck. But nothing prepares them for the day Helithia opens her locker and discovers the worst note she has ever received: a summons to go on a quest... to save the world.

From that moment on, Helithia's ordinary life flips upside down. Suddenly she's jumping out of windows, befriending a talking fox, meeting mysterious hybrids, unlocking hidden powers, and uncovering the truth about a villain no one saw coming. As each challenge pushes her further from what she believes she can do, she discovers the courage she never knew she had.

Written by 10-year-old author Laya Haritsa, who lives in California with her two dogs and parents, Helithia's Quest is a magical adventure about bravery, friendship, and finding your strength in the most unexpected places - even inside a school locker.
