Emmett and the Epic Word Searches (The Ela Chronicles Book 1)

What if finding the definition of a word meant stepping through a magical portal?

Emmett Tate is having the worst birthday ever. He bombs an important reading test, gets bullied at school, and the only person who shows up to his party is his strange elderly neighbor, who gives him a plain wooden box.

Worst gift ever… right?
Until the box reveals a portal.

The portal leads Emmett into the Land of Ela, a fantastical world where words come to life and every definition is an adventure. But when a mysterious stranger arrives in town and teams up with the school bully, danger begins to spread… both at home and in Ela.

And Emmett is the only one who can stop it.

But to do that, he’ll have to make a heart-wrenching choice… one that could change everything.

Perfect for ELA teachers and students alike—imaginative adventure where words come to life and reading becomes the journey.
