ROSE ZARY AND THE ROYAL EMERALD SECRET

Available also in Spanish and German - perfect for bilingual families and language schools

When Rose Zary finds the Royal Emerald in the heart of New York City - warm to the touch, as if alive - she thinks it's just luck.

It isn't.

Legend says the Royal Emerald can grant any wish. But someone else is already looking for it. Someone who has no intention of sharing.

Together with her friends - fearless Sarah and Conor, equal parts chaos and genius, who somehow turns every disaster into a solution - Rose sets off through a New York City she has never seen before: behind the scenes of Central Park, beneath the torch of the Statue of Liberty, through streets that look nothing like they do in daylight. Every clue leads deeper. Every answer raises a new question. And time is running out.

Who is it for? Readers aged 8-12 who want to feel New York City beneath their feet - and discover that the greatest magic doesn't live inside the emerald. It lives in what you choose to do with it.

"I finished it at midnight." - Emma, age 10
