A trip to Kenya becomes the adventure that changes everything.

Eleven-year-old Nairobi is excited to visit Kenya, the country where her parents were born. She cannot wait to meet her cousin Keturah, see wild animals, and explore a place she has only heard about in family stories.

But from the moment the trip begins, Nairobi has a problem she cannot shake. She wants a phone. Her mom says no. Then Nairobi meets Keturah, who not only has a phone, but also runs her own small business selling handmade bracelets and ornaments. Suddenly, Nairobi’s dream vacation is mixed with jealousy, comparison, and questions she does not know how to answer. As Nairobi travels through Kenya with her family, every new experience teaches her something unexpected. She visits Nairobi National Park and learns about poachers and orphaned elephants. She explores Watamu Beach, sees dolphins and whales from a glass-bottom boat, visits a snake farm, learns about Maasai culture, watches a camel derby, faces her fear of heights, and discovers the power of kindness through Keturah’s Kid Biz Club.

Along the way, Nairobi learns about:
• Family, friendship, and staying connected across distance
• Kenyan culture, food, language, wildlife, and traditions
• Jealousy, courage, disappointment, fear, and self control
• Phone safety and choosing friends wisely
• Entrepreneurship for kids through Keturah’s Kollection
• Clean water, giving, volunteering, and helping others
• How one child’s choices can create a ripple effect

After a tragic accident leaves her without her father—and without her right eye—twelve-year-old Lydia Ramirez is forced to start over in the small town of Relic’s Rest, Ohio.

New house. New school. New problems.

Lydia doesn’t want to be here. She doesn’t want new friends. And she definitely doesn’t want to deal with her cruel cousin.

But Relic’s Rest has secrets. Dark ones. Whispers of a witch named Adeliza Barrow still linger in the town’s history—a woman accused, betrayed, and punished long ago. Most people say it’s just a story. Until Lydia finds the grave. And wakes something that should have stayed buried. Now children are in danger.

A shadow moves through the town.

Scissors whisper in the dark. And Adeliza Barrow has returned to finish what was started—taking from children what was taken from her. To stop her, Lydia must face her fears, uncover the truth behind the legend, and find the courage to stand up for herself—and for others.

Because in Relic’s Rest… Some stories don’t stay buried.

Perfect for readers who love spooky middle grade ghost stories, witch legends, small-town horror, and creepy adventures, this chilling tale blends friendship, courage, and just the right amount of scare. $3.99 on Kindle.
