What’s your superpower?
Nicky and Neo are best friends with a gigantic secret: Neo’s a magical lion with a superpower
—he can changey-size!
Guided by the First Wolf and Keeper of the Cosmos, Ellie Mental, this unlikely duo travels the globe on missions from the magical Kingdom Tree.
Their goal?
To protect the planet by finding rare crystal skulls—while dodging the eyeSpies, a rogue team hired by their wicked boss: the Supreme Eye, Scream. Oh, and for Neo to meet a real-life lion!
When their latest quest leads them to the African savannah, things get complicated after they encounter the world’s most trafficked animal—pangolins. A rescue mission interrupts their skull retrieval quest, unfolding into an epic adventure.
Their paws may be small, their voices young, but the spirit of the wild roars large within them—ready to defend the world from those who seek to destroy it.
With humour, heart, and a pinch of stardust magic, Nicky and Neo are proof that even the tiniest heroes can have the biggest impact.
Perfect for readers who…
…believe in hope and magic and wonder with a sprinkling of star farts
…love getting lost in magical adventures that are part Harry Potter meets Roald Dahl meets The Little Prince.
…want stories that make them laugh one moment and hold their breath the next.
…are drawn to tales with heart, where protecting the planet is as epic and important as friendship.
…believe a single moment of bravery can change everything.
If you’ve ever wanted to run with a lion, talk to a wolf, or take on villains with nothing but courage and a little stardust—this is your kind of adventure.
I’ve watched this story come to life from a picture book to a novel that carries the heart and soul of all the characters in it.
This book is for the ones who live with their eyes open and their hearts even wider. For the adventurers who believe that every sunrise could be the start of something extraordinary. For the quiet souls who still dare to ask, “Universe, amaze me”—and then watch for the signs.
It’s for those who see wonder in small things, who believe animals have secrets worth hearing, and who know that friendship can be the most powerful magic of all. Whether you’re nine or ninety, if you’ve ever felt the call to protect something wild and precious… this story will feel like it was written for you.
