Gardenia

Twelve-year-old Mira Vale knows three things for certain: roses have voices, grown ups hide dangerous secrets, and her mother did not simply disappear.

Then a rose-sealed invitation arrives from Rosebloom Academy.

Beyond its golden gates, crystal butterflies carry whispered messages, flutter bunnies hide in the gardens, and young students learn to awaken the magic sleeping inside flowers. For the first time in her life, Mira may finally discover why the roses have always spoken to her.

But something is wrong beneath the beauty of Gardenia.

Flowers are falling silent. Thorny roots are creeping beneath the academy walls. Locked doors are opening by themselves, and someone is searching for the Heartrose-the ancient source of the kingdom's magic.

When Mira hears a warning whispered from a forbidden garden, she follows it into a mystery the royal family has kept buried for years. With a courageous princess, a clever inventor, a guarded new friend, and one troublesome flutter bunny beside her, Mira must uncover the truth before the Heartrose falls into the wrong hands.

Every clue leads deeper beneath Rosebloom Academy.

Every secret brings Mira closer to her missing mother.

And somewhere in the darkness, the Crownroot is beginning to wake.

Mira has listened to flowers all her life. This time, the entire kingdom is waiting for her answer.
