When a shy girl and her dragon-like companion discover their country's idyllic weather comes at a steep--and secret--cost, they recruit fellow students to defy authority and attempt to spread the truth.
Storm beasts and their guardians create perfect weather every day, and Mina longs for a storm beast of her own. But when the gentle girl bonds with a lightning beast--a creature of fire and chaos--everyone's certain it's a mistake. Everyone but Mina and the beast himself, Pixit. Quickly enrolled in lightning school, Mina struggles to master a guardian's skills, and she discovers that her country's weather comes at a devastating cost--a cost powerful people wish to hide. Mina's never been the type to speak out, but someone has to tell the truth, and, with Pixit's help, she resolves to find a way to be heard.
But how can one quiet girl change a world that's determined to keep its secrets?
- Girl and Her Dragon: Mina is quiet and gentle. Her new companion, Pixit, is a chaotic lightning beast. Everyone says it's a mistake, but their bond might be the only thing that can save their world.
- Shy Girl Hero: Used to living in the background, Mina must find the courage to speak up when she uncovers a devastating truth about her perfect country.
- A Hidden Conspiracy: Alorria's idyllic weather isn't a miracle--it comes at a terrible price that the powerful will do anything to keep hidden.
- Finding Your Voice: A heartfelt middle grade adventure about discovering that your voice, no matter how quiet, has the power to spark a revolution.
