Achromatic Chronicles

Fortuna has always followed the rules in her colorless world--until she discovers something impossible in the woods: a living color with a mission. Drawn into a secret adventure, she begins to question everything she's been taught about staying in line.

What starts as curiosity becomes a journey that could change her world forever--a heartfelt coming-of-age story about fear, identity, and the courage to see things differently. The colorless-world hook gives the book a striking visual signature for young readers.

Part of the Achromatic Chronicles, a timeless all-ages series about adventure, growing up, and finding your own voice--designed to welcome new readers while building toward a larger story. Illustrated by Erik Hodson.

For parents, teachers, and librarians, it's an easy recommend with a real message; for kids, it's a bright, fast adventure that rewards repeat reads across the series.
