In this debut illustrated novella, Ladybird Jenkins and the Time Thieves weaves a wondrous world that readers will be intrigued and compelled to enter. In the luminous realms of Indovia, history isn’t just remembered, it’s protected. When the elusive Shadow Syndicate steals the legendary Time Prism, centuries of knowledge vanish from the Codex Vault, deleted, corrupted, forgotten.
Reality itself starts to unravel.
Enter Ladybird Jenkins: headmistress of the Indovian Academy and former Guardian of the Codex.
With time fracturing and memory under siege, she assembles an extraordinary team of students,
each with unique gifts of stillness, perception, insight, disruption, and adaptation.
Their mission: decode the breach, trace the source, and recover the Prism before the timeline collapses. But what begins as a race to preserve history becomes something deeper. The Prism is not just an artifact, it’s sentient. And it’s choosing a new Guardian.
To save the future, they must step inside the memory of a world that was never meant to survive and face the truth that nearly destroyed it.
Beyond its captivating narrative, Ladybird Jenkins and Time Thieves thoughtfully integrate modern themes of digital literacy, cybersecurity, and ethical responsibility. Young readers will not only enjoy the thrill of solving intricate puzzles and embarking on exhilarating adventures but also develop critical thinking and digital safety skills relevant to our contemporary world.
The Ladybird Jenkins series is envisioned as an educational adventure. Bridging historical exploration with futuristic vision, education with entertainment, and creativity with responsibility, Ladybird Jenkins promises readers a captivating, impactful, and award-winning experience.
