The Compass Chronicles: The Frozen Signal

A girl. A compass. An island with a secret buried underneath it.

Zara Carter is ten years old. Her family calls her Compass because she notices things nobody else notices. When her military family moves to a remote island in the Kodiak Archipelago, her grandmother's brass compass starts pointing at something underground. Something the village has been hiding for centuries.

Five houses. One grocery store. A building nobody will explain. And a signal that is dying.

The Frozen Signal is a middle grade mystery for readers ages 8 to 12. It features Alutiiq indigenous culture, a heroine who was pulled from school for seeing too much, and a friendship between two girls built on trust before words.

229 pages. 17 chapters. Book One of The Compass Chronicles.

For every kid who was told they notice too much. They were not imagining things.
