A quiet glow in the night. A girl brave enough to follow it. And a world waiting just beyond the edge of ordinary. When nine-year-old Yaleen notices a shimmer across her bedroom wall, she thinks it might be moonlight until the light bends, cracks open and reveals a path no one else can see. Guided by curiosity and a lantern that seems to have a mind of its own, Yaleen steps into the woods behind her home and discovers the Vail, a place where forgotten things remember themselves and questions are as powerful as answers. With the help of a soft, glowing creature named Pufftail and a mysterious companion known only as the girl in blue, Yaleen journeys deeper into a world built from stories, memories and courage. But every door she opens asks something of her patience, kindness, bravery and sometimes the willingness to let go. Vail is the first book in a gentle fantasy adventure series designed for young readers and families who love mystery, wonder and heart. It invites children to explore big feelings, bravery, uncertainty and belonging in a save and imaginative way. Perfect for early readers ready for chapter books, read - aloud time or classroom shelves. VAIL shows that magic doesn't always roar.... Sometimes it whispers and waits for someone brave enough to answer.
