Soapy Sally and the Cousin Crew: Legacy of Bubble Fox Hollow
Amy Lucille with Myles Cooper
To save the magic, they must first discover the truth… Every family has a story— But five young cousins never imagined theirs was a legend. What begins as an ordinary vacation to their grandmother’s house turns extraordinary when a shattered mirror reveals a portal to Bubble Fox Hollow, a hidden world where magic once flowed freely but is now slipping away. Inside this breathtaking realm, the Cousin Crew meets Soapy Sally, a mischievous fox with shimmering fur and secrets older than the Hollow itself. Through riddles, clues, sparkles, and the help of new friends they meet along the way, she guides them on a quest to recover what was lost and uncover a truth that ties their family to the survival of an entire magical world. But time is running out. Magic is fading. And on both sides of the glass, old wounds must be mended before Bubble Fox Hollow can be saved. The fate of Soapy Sally and her enchanted world rests in their hands… and only courage, love, and unbreakable family bonds can restore what was broken long ago. Soapy Sally and the Cousin Crew: Legacy of Bubble Fox Hollow launches a magical new middle-grade fantasy series about the power of love, the strength of family, and the courage to face the truth—even when it shatters everything you thought you knew.

The Secret Under Vernal
Sandra Boyle
When twelve-year-old Brynn discovers a warm, ticking egg left mysteriously at her door in dinosaur-obsessed Vernal, Utah, she knows she's stumbled onto something impossible—something the adults around her seem determined to keep hidden. With her loyal husky Rex and her skeptical best friend Mason by her side, Brynn ventures into the red rock landscape surrounding her small town, where fossil beds hide secrets far older and stranger than anyone imagined. As she unravels the truth beneath Vernal's dinosaur-themed streets, Brynn learns that some discoveries demand protection, not explanation, and that the greatest adventure begins when you choose to trust what your heart knows is real. Perfect for readers who love creature mysteries, small-town magic, and the comfort of found family.
