About this ebook

Dragon Girls meets Love Puppies in this new chapter book series starring a group of friends who protect animals with magical gemstones!

A little sparkle goes a long way!

Lily the Water Gem helps her family take care of otters who splash around near the lake. When one of the baby otters is injured, Lily rushes to help. It soon becomes clear that the otter needs a special medicine made from flowers that grow beyond a powerful waterfall.

The Gem who goes on the mission to collect the flowers must be brave, strong, and fast-because time is running out. Lily volunteers to make the journey. She'll do anything to save one of her beloved otters!

About the author

Payal Doshi has a Master’s in Creative Writing (Fiction) from The New School, New York. Having lived in the UK and the US, she noticed a lack of Indian protagonists in global children’s fiction and one day wrote the opening paragraph to what would become her first children’s novel. She was born and raised in Mumbai, India, and currently resides in Minneapolis, Minnesota with her husband and four-year-old daughter. When she isn’t writing or spending time with her family, you can find her nose deep in a book with a cup of coffee or daydreaming of fantasy realms to send her characters off into. She loves the smell of old, yellowed books. Her debut middle grade fantasy novel, Rea and the Blood of the Nectar, is the recipient of the IPPY Gold Award.
