A seaside mystery with a fantastical lift

Set in 1870s France near the seaside town of Everlily, Rose Taylor combines community-minded everyday life with a hidden world beyond the ordinary. Rose lives among the ruins of her family’s cottage with Squeak, a posh mouse, and cares for animal friends. When she begins investigating her mother’s disappearance, the story links that mystery to a wish, a celestial gift, and fragments of her family’s past. The book is the second in its series chronologically, but is being published first and is described as readable on its own.

  • Children ages 9–12 interested in historical fantasy
  • Readers who enjoy stories involving animals, mysteries, and fantastical worlds

Book overview

In 1870s France, a delightful girl named Rose Taylor lives near the seaside town of Everlily. Each day, she gladly helps her community with their errands.

 

Dwelling happily with a posh mouse named Squeak in the deteriorating ruins of her family's cottage, Rose also feeds and fosters her beloved, big-hearted animal friends.

 

Then one day, she discovers a world that exists parallel to--yet somehow just outside--the grasp of all that is ordinary.

 

With friends old and new, Rose unravels the mysteries of her mother's disappearance. Aided by a wish, she is given a celestial gift beyond imagination.

 

Follow Rose Taylor as good works allow her to defy gravity and uncover fragments of her family's long-forgotten past.

 

 

Welcome to Graville! Rose Taylor is chronologically the second book in this series, but it is being released first and can be enjoyed without having read book one. It is the perfect bedtime story for children, but all ages will delight in Rose's story, as some entertaining moments were specifically added for the joy of teenage, young adult, and adult readers.

 

Book one, Bela Bonntineli, is expected to be released in the spring of 2027. It will dive deeper into the past, providing revelations into the events that preceded Rose Taylor.
