Pearl Twist's Magical Life
Kim Soles, author
"Pearl, a ten-year-old girl who has experienced the profound loss of her father, forms a deep connection with Lion, a courageous and compassionate companion who yearns for a life beyond the confines of the carousel in Prospect Park, Brooklyn. Lion's audacious actions inspire the entire menagerie to break free and embark on a quest for more. Yet, their newfound freedom is threatened by the vivid and formidable carousel keeper, Cornelius Cage, who wields sorcery through enchanted red feathers. Cornelius is determined to selfishly destroy Pearl's enchanted existence and Lion's newfound liberation.
Under the luminous glow of the March full crow moon, Pearl and Lion set off on a thrilling sprint and befriend Crow, a spirited and clever creature. Crow eagerly joins Pearl and Lion on their extraordinary journey. Along the way, they encounter Rosie, a petite clairvoyant who mysteriously transforms from an ordinary Pink Lady apple with an emerald green inchworm tightly curled around her wrist. When the crew indulges in a love-filled lunch at the Café of Love Lost, they cross paths with eleven-year-old John, who possesses otherworldly knowledge and guides them through the exhilarating City of Zinnia.
Their journey turns dark and uncertain, but Pearl portrays the life of a contemporary superhero who transforms insecurities and grief into resilience, strength, and independence."
