Journey to Twilight : Book One (Land of Twilight Trilogy)

BOOK ONE IN THE LAND OF TWILIGHT TRILOGY

Sam and Lorna’s bike race becomes far more than a neighborhood competition in this action-adventure fantasy.

Lorna Wilson moves to the Crestwood subdivision in Arizona with her mom and baby brother in this first in the series, to the Land of Twilight. Unpacking, Lorna seeks a way to fit into the crowd when a girl named Ally knocks on her front door.

Splashing in the pool at Ally’s house, Lorna learns about the bike challenge created by a scar-faced neighborhood legend, Samuel Black. She hears herself boasting that she can take on Sam Black in his own bike challenge and win. Lorna's words quickly come back to bite her.

Although none of the kids will root for the new girl, an ancient cairn opens to the Land of Twilight giving Lorna an opportunity to win anything her heart desires.
