  Mia Weston keeps her speech on index cards and has been carrying them for three weeks. She knows exactly what she wants to say. She just hasn't walked through the door yet. 
  Then the scroll on her wall — an old Chinese painting of a farmer who sits beside a split tree stump, waiting for a rabbit to return — begins to change. And one night, the amber light from her desk lamp opens a door into somewhere else entirely. 
  The kingdom Mia and her best friend Zoe step into is frozen in gold-amber: stone roads, suspended birds, a marketplace caught mid-motion, figures stilled in the middle of ordinary moments. At its centre stands a split stump from which warmth is very slowly leaking away. Two boys have been here a long time. One has made his peace with staying. The other hasn't — but his arms are already turning to amber, and there's less and less he can do about it. 
  Mia doesn't have magic. She has four index cards and an argument she believes in. It turns out that might be exactly what a frozen kingdom needs. 
  *The Rabbit Never Came* is the first book in the Crystal Gate series — a ten-book middle grade fantasy rooted in Chinese mythology and the ancient wisdom of chengyu. It is a story about the difference between waiting and acting, and what happens when a girl who has been almost-ready for too long finally opens her mouth and speaks. 
  **For readers aged 9–13 who love quiet magic, real feelings, and worlds that ask something of you.**

  🔱 Looking for a school with monsters, whirlpools, and zero promises you’ll make it out alive? Congratulations—you found it. 
  When the gods died (spoiler alert: humans totally killed them), their powers scattered like stardust, creating a world where everyone’s born with a gift: a ripple of Poseidon, a blaze of Apollo, a glimmer of Aphrodite… 
  Thirteen-year-old Hailey Woods? She got Zeus. Storm-summoning powers sound cool… unless you’re the only Zeus in a hundred years and there’s a prophecy floating about saying you’ll have to save the world—um, no pressure. 
  Hailey isn’t interested in saving anything. She’d rather survive high school without accidentally unleashing a tornado in class. 
  So when she’s offered a spot at Poseidon’s Academy—a school under the sea where her powers are useless—she dives in (literally) for a shot at a normal life. 
  No lightning. No pressure. No monsters. 
  Kidding! There are so many monsters… 
  Oh, and sea-nymphs—like mermaids, but meaner, less sparkly, and way more into revenge than decorating seashell crowns. They’re plotting to bring back the gods, and if Hailey and her friends don’t stop them, it’s goodbye enchanted sea palace, hello full-blown apocalypse. 
  Saving the world? Yeah… turns out that might not be optional. 
  __________________________________________________ 
  ⚡️Poseidon’s Academy is a middle grade fantasy packed with magic, teen demigods, and more mayhem than any school should allow. Perfect for fans of Percy Jackson, Nevermoor, and Amari and the Night Brothers 
  🌀 The whirlpool’s spinning—jump in if you dare. Worst case? You’re never seen again. Best case? You fight a kraken. Good luck!
