Description
Two friends. Numerous snacks. Infinite adventure.
Zee is quick and hasty. Fash is careful and cautious. Together, they make an unlikely pair-bound by quirks, banter, and a knack for stumbling into trouble.
When an ordinary day takes an extraordinary turn, Fash and Zee are swept into a mysterious new dimension where the rules are strange, danger lurks in every shadow, and even their friendship is put to the test. From gas-tronomical surprises to unexpected allies (and even stranger enemies), A Bite of Destiny launches Fash & Zee's Nexus Chronicle-a laugh-filled, heartwarming adventure about embracing differences, finding belonging, and discovering that sometimes the key to saving the universe... is standing right beside you.
Perfect for readers who enjoy friendship-driven adventures like Dog Man, imaginative quests like Amari and the Night Brothers, or laugh-out-loud series like Diary of a Wimpy Kid, this middle-grade fantasy is equal parts hilarious, heartfelt, and wonderfully weird.
