Coming this fall from Solaris Dreamscapes Publishing House, Juniper Penbrook invites readers ages 8-12 on an extraordinary adventure in her magical new Middle-Grade Novel, Selene and the Wild Song™!

Our heroine, Selene Geller, is a vibrant eleven-year-old whose creativity knows no bounds until an evil spirit comes to claim it. Tempted by an enchanting song heard on an autumn breeze, Selene unwittingly unleashes an unseen menace whose ambition is to snatch away the vivid imaginations of unsuspecting children. The malevolent Man with Three Masks has captured her creativity and entwined it within the labyrinthine branches of an imposing sycamore tree in the mystical world of Karshiva.

However, Selene is not alone. With the wisdom of her quirky grandmother, the steadfast courage of her friends Dante and Jaya, and the aid of the ever-faithful golden-antlered bear, Bemo, Selene plunges headlong into the strange realm. Guided by The Muse, a magical entity who shows her the true power of imagination, and accompanied by the mischievous Mushlings, Selene embarks on a daring quest to reclaim her stolen gift.

Beware the Man with Three Masks and his swarm of sharp-fanged Sirens, but also watch for the mysterious fox with seven tails. Friend or foe, this intriguing creature will have a part to play in Selene’s journey.

“Beyond everyday life, a land of magic and a young girl’s heroic spirit arise.”

Selene and the Wild Song™ weaves an enchanting tale of courage, friendship, and the power of creativity. So, step into a realm where the wild song sings, where imagination is both currency and captor and where an ordinary girl can become an extraordinary hero!

The dream awaits. Are you ready to join Selene?
