Miro Chronicles: Ameti Rising

Twelve-year-old Jimmy Aster must prove he’s more than his legendary name—before his uncle’s plan fractures Planet Miro beyond repair.


The adventure continues in Miro Chronicles: Ameti Rising—Book Two in the acclaimed middle-grade sci-fi eco-adventure series for ages 9–12.


In the year 2403, Jimmy returns to Aster Academy determined to live up to the Aster legacy. Alongside his friends Tala and Derek, he trains as an Ameti Apprentice, learning to harness Orra, the crystal energy that powers Miro’s technology.


But far to the north, Mount Polara is awakening. Volcanic cracks are spreading across the frozen wilderness—and Uncle Des is rising with them.


Armed with the powerful Orra Crucible, Des has a plan that could tear Planet Miro apart.


As Jimmy searches for his missing otter companion Otto, loyalties shift and secrets surface. To protect the planet he loves, Jimmy must decide what kind of Ameti he wants to become—balancing invention with integrity and choosing truth before power consumes everything.


Ameti Rising delivers a fast-paced sci-fi journey filled with daring missions, high-tech Orra gear, and powerful creatures—a story of friendship, courage, and protecting a fragile world.


“This brisk, futuristic romp derives its energy from a hearty, multispecies cast.” —Kirkus Reviews
