More Description
Nine-year-old Aly survives an earthquake in Mexico City, but her mother disappears in the chaos and destruction. Aly wants to find her mom, but she's sent to stay with her grandmother, MeMar, in California. She's afraid to make the journey because she barely knows MeMar, and the old lady has always been mysterious. Aly soon embarks on an unexpected adventure and learns things about herself and her family that will change her life forever.
In California, Aly makes some interesting new friends: a pair of brothers and two talking ravens. Why can Aly understand the ravens, anyway? MeMar has the answers: Aly is a member of an ancient society of mystical warriors who are tasked with saving the world from evil. Her mom's disappearance is tied to the order's dangerous mission.
More earthquakes and disappearances, plus a nasty bully and a bunch of mysterious discs, make Aly's mission seem impossible. She's a tough, smart kid, but is she wily and brave enough to not only rescue her mom, but save the whole world? She'll need to count on her good friends, human and animal, and her own gutsy brainpower, to put things right with her family and all humankind.
