The Sentinel Records

The Sentinel Records: The Echo City (Book One) Echo City doesn't always behave the way it's supposed to. Sometimes streets disappear without warning. Sometimes the school bell rings too soon. And sometimes, if you're paying close enough attention, you can feel that something important has been skipped - not broken, just... overlooked. Most adults don't notice. Kids do. In a city where time skips and streets vanish, only those who notice the echoes can save it. When Lilly begins to sense patterns no one else seems to see, she finds herself drawn into a quiet mystery about how the city works - and what happens when small moments are rushed past or ignored. With the help of unexpected allies and a watchful figure known as the Sentinel, Lilly starts to understand that the city responds not to force, but to choices. Not every problem can be fixed. Not every moment can be saved. But paying attention might keep the most important ones from disappearing completely. The Sentinel Records: The Echo City is a thoughtful middle¿grade novel about curiosity, responsibility, and learning how to navigate a world shaped by adult decisions. Grounded in near¿future ideas and told through a child's perspective, it explores how noticing, asking questions, and choosing when to act - or not act - can make all the difference.
