A viral dance video. A life-changing invitation. A dream worth crossing the world for.
Thirteen-year-old Zaria Bennett has always danced to her own rhythm.
Growing up in Atlanta with strong Jamaican roots, Zaria loves K-pop, dancehall, and creating dance moves that blend both worlds together. But when a video of her dancing at a neighborhood block party goes viral, her life changes overnight.
An invitation arrives from Seoul, South Korea.
An opportunity to audition for an elite K-pop trainee program.
And a chance to chase the dream she's hardly dared to say out loud.
Leaving home means stepping into a world of demanding training, fierce competition, new friendships, and impossible expectations. Surrounded by talented trainees from around the globe, Zaria must learn what it takes to succeed while holding on to the culture, confidence, and identity that make her unique.
Because becoming a star isn't just about talent.
It's about believing in yourself when the world is watching.
Filled with friendship, humor, music, dance, and heart, Kingston to Seoul: The Audition is the exciting first book in the Project Nova Trilogy-a coming-of-age adventure perfect for readers who love K-pop, performing arts, multicultural stories, and unforgettable characters.
Enhanced with beautiful interior illustrations that bring key moments of Zaria's journey to life, readers can experience both the story and the artwork as her dream unfolds from Atlanta to Seoul.
Perfect for ages 10-14.
If you love stories about friendship, courage, dance, music, and chasing big dreams, you'll love Zaria's journey from Atlanta to Seoul.
