The Guardians of the World Gates: The Lost Sixth Gate

Some secrets should never be spoken. Some doors should never be opened.

For twins Jay and Jill Warde, life has never been ordinary. They don't fit in at school. They don't like noisy crowds or being told what to wear. And they've always felt... different.

But different doesn't even begin to describe the truth.

At midsummer, the ancient World Gates awaken-portals between worlds that only open once a year. Last time, the twins barely escaped with their lives. This time, strange voices call from the forest, shadows move where no one should be, and a mysterious stranger insists the twins' unique Talents are the only hope to prevent disaster.

Their parents say they're too young. The Watcher says they're the only ones who can. And something terrible is already seeping through the Gate...

With only their circle of animal allies and their untested powers, Jay and Jill must face a mystery older than the forest itself. But are they strong enough to survive what waits on the other side?

Perfect for:

• Middle grade and young adult readers (ages 10-14 and up) who love fantasy adventure with mystery and magic.

• Reluctant readers and neurodiverse teens looking for relatable heroes with unique ways of seeing the world.

• Fans of portal fantasy, magical forests, talking animals, and family secrets with a twist.

The Gates are opening. The choice is theirs. And the price of failure is more than they can imagine.
