Ms. Love's Mystical Island Adventure

Autor Susan Love
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 25 ian 2019
Sabrina, Arthur, Miguel, and Lucy arrive on Ms. Love's Mystical Island bursting with excitement. The young explorers have been chosen to witness the flowering of a rare and magical orchid, which blooms once every century with an explosion of light and energy-mysteriously repairing Earth's ozone layer. But Ms. Love greets the children with devastating news: The scientists hoping to study the orchid's secret power are not coming, and a massive hurricane is headed their way. If the destructive storm strikes the island while the fragile orchid is in bloom, this extraordinary plant will be wiped out forever.There is only one hope-The Centurial Mystic Orchid - a flower-shaped crystal that once magically protected the island from danger. Although Sunflower, Ms. Love's mother, possesses the flower's centerpiece, the other hidden pieces must be found-and found quickly-if the island and its precious orchid are to be saved. As the hurricane rapidly approaches, the children and Ms. Love race against time to complete seemingly impossible tasks: decode the ancestor's map, discover and unravel the clues to find the missing pieces, and safely return this supernatural power source to Sunflower-unless Ms. Love's jealous, power-hungry Rivals find and steal the sacred flower first!
