How can anyone ordinary do something extraordinary?

Hi, I’m Maggie. I’m twelve, and I’m not just ordinary—I also suffer from extreme anxiety and life-threatening food allergies. So imagine my surprise at being invited to join an elite, secret branch of Wayfinder Girls. Our mission: to protect the world against inter-dimensional threats.

But getting sucked into a race to retrieve the mystical Mountain of Light, before the world is overrun—that was definitely not on my to-do-list!

I’m going to need some help…

With an effortless blend of history and fantasy, matter-of-fact cultural diversity, and many laugh-out-loud moments, Maggie and the Mountain of Light will delight and enthral young readers.

Book 1 of the Wayfinder Girls series.
