High Tide
by Sanya Pirani
Just one day before Mia Lopez is to face the biggest challenge of her life, a long-lost letter from her deceased mother surfaces. In it she lets Mia know that she is destined to take part in something called the High Tide Challenge.
A short time later, Mia and her best friend find themselves transported into a magical world where they have extraordinary abilities. They can’t get hurt and there’s a lack of need for daily necessities; but there is heart stomping danger at every turn. Can they find their way out of this world, or will they become members of the “Royalty” who are able to control High Tide, but can never leave?
With the help of the information in that letter from Mia’s mother, and a mysterious welcome note from a woman named Nerissa, Mia and Spencer will try to defy the odds stacked up against them and find their way home. But to even get a shot in the dark at this task, Mia has to make connections with some not so genuine people.
