El Nio

*Signed Copies!*

While Supplies Last

Sometimes the only way to hold onto what we love is to let go.

Kai Sosa is so passionate about swimming he is practically a fish. This summer, hes determined to become the athlete he once was on an elite swim team.

But something invisible holds him back. His race times are off. Dreams of his sister Cali haunt him. And he hasnt found her missing gold cuff, her last request. Mom is still talking about grief, even though its been two years since she disappeared. Hes fine now, isnt he?

When Kai discovers a library book Cali had checked out multiple timesabout an underwater realm and a mysterious place called the Library of Despair and Sorrowdetails from the story begin to appear in his own life: dolphin pods, imposing rock towers, unusual sea creatures, and even Calis beloved bracelet. As myth and reality collide, El Nio unleashes its fury, and Kai is swept up in a storm of events that will change his understanding of love, death, grief, and how best to honor those weve lost.
