Isle of Ever will keep you guessing till the last page, then begging for a sequel immediately…you’re bound to find readers up well past their bedtime.” ― Melissa de la Cruz, #1 New York Times Bestselling author of The Isle of the Lost 

“This book has everything…I couldn’t put it down!” ― Stuart Gibbs, New York Times bestselling author of the Spy School series

“Calonita leaves us breathless as Benny races to save the day and her family. Young readers will love it!” ― James Ponti, New York Times Bestselling Author of City Spies 

The Isle of Ever is a gripping game and grand adventure. A treasure hunt filled with riddles, clues, an ancient curse, and a main character you’ll be cheering for all the way to the final page. I loved it!” — Chris Grabenstein, #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Mr. Lemoncello’s Library series.

Days after her twelfth birthday, Everly “Benny” Benedict learns she’s the heir to a fortune. But to collect the inheritance, she first has to play―and win―a game. Following clues that her ancestor left, Benny must locate a small island that vanished long ago, according to legend.

She has only two weeks to play the game and find the island. If she’s successful, she’ll break a two-hundred-year-old curse. If she fails, the fortune will be forfeited. And if she’s not careful, she’ll cross paths with someone else who is after the island’s secrets, and who will stop at nothing to get them. Because, as it turns out, there’s far more than a fortune at stake.
