Twelve-year-old Sarah prefers fantasy books to real life—until her bedroom clock strikes thirteen and she awakens in Greystone Valley, where magic is real but nothing works quite right. The wizard Kay can barely cast spells, the warrior Dax predicts doom at every turn, and the fearsome dragon Keeley is only six inches long.

When an evil warlord threatens the valley with his army of beast-men and mercenaries, Sarah and her unlikely companions must embark on a quest through fey forests and dragon mountains. Along the way, Sarah discovers she possesses mysterious magical abilities that might be the key to saving not just Greystone Valley, but multiple worlds.

GREYSTONE VALLEY teaches that heroes come in all sizes, magic exists in unexpected places, and sometimes the greatest adventures help us face our real-world challenges. Perfect for readers who've outgrown MAGIC TREE HOUSE but aren't quite ready for HARRY POTTER, this portal fantasy balances humor and heart while showing that true bravery isn't about being fearless—it's about doing what's right even when you're scared.
