The Bookmark Chronicles
In a world where banned books aren't just controversial-they're disappearing-fifteen-year-old Milo Parker inherits more than just his grandmother's old bookmark. He inherits her fight.
When beloved town librarian Eleanor Parker dies under mysterious circumstances, Milo discovers the truth behind her lifelong battle to protect books: she was a Guardian, part of an ancient society defending literature across time. The silver bookmark he inherits isn't just a keepsake-it's a portal that transports him into the bodies of those fighting censorship throughout history.
In a world where banned books aren't just controversial-they're disappearing-fifteen-year-old Milo Parker inherits more than just his grandmother's old bookmark. He inherits her fight.
When beloved town librarian Eleanor Parker dies under mysterious circumstances, Milo discovers the truth behind her lifelong battle to protect books: she was a Guardian, part of an ancient society defending literature across time. The silver bookmark he inherits isn't just a keepsake-it's a portal that transports him into the bodies of those fighting censorship throughout history.
As Milo jumps from Nazi book burnings to Mao's Cultural Revolution to Argentina's Dirty War, he witnesses firsthand how dangerously powerful censorship can be. But the real shock comes when he returns to find his own Midwestern town transforming in eerily familiar ways-books vanishing from library shelves, teachers disappearing, and a sinister family called the Lancasters controlling what students can read, think, and remember.
With the help of fellow Guardian Zoe and a growing resistance, Milo must uncover who the Lancasters really are: time-traveling Erasers who don't just ban books-they erase all evidence certain ideas ever existed. As his school's homecoming celebration approaches, Milo realizes it's actually a cover for something much darker: a convergence event that could permanently alter what knowledge is accessible to humanity.
Now Milo must choose: retreat into the normal teenage life he craves, or embrace his Guardian legacy and lead the fight for intellectual freedom-before certain books, thoughts, and even people are erased forever.
Timely and thought-provoking, The Bookmark Chronicles pulls readers into a high-stakes adventure that mirrors today's urgent battles over book banning, asking the powerful question: who gets to decide what we're allowed to read, think, and remember?
