Tumblerock is no ordinary city.It has giant Venus flytraps, gingerbread streets that fight back, a library that may not want you to leave, a terrifying clown carnival, and a castle ruled by Blackiron, an immortal barbarian king with glowing magenta eyes and a crown no one has ever broken.When a mysterious alarm bell shatters the peace, three children, Cloe, Alis, and Christopher, are pulled into an adventure bigger than anything they imagined.Old secrets wake. A lost brother returns with no memory of who he is. And a voice from the clouds begins stealing people's words one by one.The Sky wants silence.To save the city, the children and the three founding brothers must race across Tumblerock's strangest districts to gather five magical stones before the whole city goes quiet forever.But every stone brings them closer to a terrifying truth:The Sky has been lying.And the real danger may not be above them at all.The Chronicles of Tumblerock: The Sky's Betrayal is the first book in a new middle-grade fantasy adventure series full of wild cities, found family, magical weapons, impossible places, and a villain who believes the world would be better off without noise.Perfect for readers ages 8 to 12 who love imaginative worlds, brave kids, strange magic, and stories where the weirdest city on earth might also be worth saving.
