Our Review
This middle-grade adventure follows Lily Ray, an awkward tween nature vlogger whose ordinary life gets upended by a royal invitation to the exotic island kingdom of Bagradoo. Lily's passion for naturalism and distinctive gumboot enthusiasm make her an immediately relatable protagonist for readers who feel slightly out of step with their peers. The story promises a fish-out-of-water narrative as this self-proclaimed naturalist navigates royal protocols and island mysteries far from her comfort zone.
What sets this apart is how it blends contemporary tween concerns with classic adventure elements, creating a story that feels both fresh and timeless. Young readers who enjoy stories about unexpected journeys and discovering inner strength will find much to love here, particularly those with interests in nature, vlogging culture, or feeling like they don't quite fit in. The enthusiastic endorsements from established authors hint at a narrative that delivers both heart and excitement, making this a compelling pick for middle-grade shelves.
