Book 1 of The Rapa Nui Chronicles

NIMA: The Voyage to Rapa Nui

Ages 8–12

Nima is ten years old when the hurricane destroys everything. The canoes. The crops. The old ways of sharing and kindness. As hunger spreads across Mangareva, her people turn on each other. Nima's father whispers of an impossible plan: a voyage east, into waters no living navigator has crossed, toward land that exists only in stories. With nothing but the stars to guide them, Nima and her family sail into the unknown — toward an island that will one day be called Rapa Nui.

NIMA: The Roots of Rapa Nui

Ages 8–12

The crossing is over. The hard part has just begun. With eighteen survivors and dwindling supplies, Nima's small community must learn to fish an unfamiliar reef, grow food in unknown soil, and forge a home from nothing on the shores of Rapa Nui. But not everyone has made peace with leaving the world behind — and as the dry season bites and tensions rise, Nima must reckon with a question that has no easy answer: What does it cost to put down roots in a place you can never leave?

MIRA: The Stone Giants of Rapa Nui

Ages 8–14

Years after the first settlers landed, the small community has grown into rival clans spread across the island. To honor their ancestors, they begin carving towering stone figures — the first of the great moai. Each statue is larger than the last. Each demands more timber, more labor, more sacrifice. As pride and competition reshape the island itself, Mira begins to see the fragile balance of the land begin to strain. On a world surrounded by endless ocean, every choice matters — and some cannot be undone.

Book 1 of Tenochtitlan: The Birth of Mexico City

OLIN

Tenochtitlan, 1325 CE  ·  Ages 10 and up

The Mexica people have found their island — a scrap of marsh in a vast lake in the Valley of Mexico. They have nowhere else to go. So they build. Olin watches his father drive stakes into the mud and raise causeways across the water. He watches the old scribe record what is decided and what is built. And he learns, from his mother's secret teachings, that there are always two versions of any story — the official one, and the true one. This is the true one.

TOMA

Tenochtitlan, 1450 CE  ·  Ages 10 and up

The famine is in its second year. The empire is building itself into the sky. And Toma — a sixteen-year-old scribe with a bad leg and a secret document — has just been asked to copy a lie. The lie matters. It traces the emperor's bloodline back to the Toltec kings, erasing the families whose names actually belong there. Toma will copy it perfectly. That night, he will write the truth alongside it. He is the keeper of his family's amoxtli — a bark-paper book begun a century ago by Olin, the city's founding scribe. Two versions of everything: the official record, and the one that says what the empire actually costs.

YOLI

Tenochtitlan, 1519–1521 CE  ·  Ages 10 and up

The strangers have arrived. They are staying. And Yoli — a fifteen-year-old scribe with five languages and a memory he cannot turn off — is watching the city he grew up in begin to calculate what it can afford to lose. Two years later, the city is on fire. The archive is being cleared. And in a bundle on the third shelf, wrapped in linen and mislabeled, is the document his family has been keeping for two hundred years. He takes it. He runs. The amoxtli has passed through eight keepers since 1325. The ninth was not supposed to be a student with three days, a Tlaxcalan girl, and a falling city.

LUCY: A Life in the Dawn of Time

Ages 8–12

Three million two hundred thousand years ago, a child was born on the African savanna. She learned to walk upright, to find food in a harsh land, to survive the predators that hunted in the darkness. She lost those she loved. She became a mother. She lived a life full of danger and tenderness — and then, one ordinary day, she fell from a tree. Lucy imagines the life of our most famous ancestor — not as we know it happened, but as it might have.
