Ora and the Last Sunbird: Rider of the Dying Sky
Ages 8-12
Book One of the Sunbird Trilogy · Middle grade fantasy adventure · Ages 8–12
The sun isn't dying. It's been caged.
For thirty-one years the light has been draining out of the sky, and nobody on Ahu Nui says the word why out loud anymore. Then a storm drops a wounded golden bird onto eleven-year-old Ora's beach — and Ora, whose father sailed off to save the sun three years ago and never came back, learns the truth. The Sunbird is chained to the ocean floor by three locks, held by three ancient storm spirits who are far too old and far too powerful to fight.
So he won't fight them. He'll listen to them.
