Penny & Luck: The Lost Crystals of Tamrez

Inventor Penny Jones and her corgi sidekick Luck return for another out-of-this-world adventure, and this time they’re crashing through portals and dodging earthquakes to rescue a magical mountain.



Ever since Penny returned from her accidental mission in the magical realm of Zollora she can’t focus on anything else. Not even the Wampscott Elementary Science Fair can distract her. When the walls of her attic shake awake to deliver a glowing, magical SOS from her Zollorian friends, Penny and Luck know they have to go back.

When they arrive at the Tamrez Mountains, they find a world on the brink of disaster: an early freeze is coming, tunnels are collapsing, and the ancient crystals powering the mountain have gone completely dark. Armed with only her brilliant inventing mind, can Penny convince a stubborn, divided kingdom to unite and recharge the magic before they're frozen out forever?
