A dying world. A magical alternative. Terracolina is described by readers as a nature lover's place to belong-soothing and enchanting.
Grandpa's forest is dying, and 12-year-old Thomas has vowed to save it. Determined but alone on his mission, he stumbles upon Terracolina - an enchanted world overlooking the forest.
Thomas has arrived just in time. Geven, the caretaker of Terracolina is fighting to save his talking vines and musical flowers from the Olgrots and their ominous black slime. Fighting alongside Geven's team of misfits and a potent, fast-growing creeper, they manage to halt the onslaught of slime. If Thomas returns home to rescue grandpa's forest, will his new Terracolina friends be able to hold back the Olgrots? More than that, is Thomas destined to make a difference only in a world no one else knows exists?
Carla Kessler wrote Terracolina as a shout out to our ecology-minded youth who seek to make a difference in a world that seems to be hopelessly destroying itself. Thomas's struggle to save his grandpa's forest reveals a transformation to confidence that is heart warming and hopeful.
Join Thomas on his journey to save two worlds in this debut novel.
