The Firefly

The Twins & The Firefly is a 85,000 word upper-middle grade novel. Thirteen-year-old twins, Henry and Samantha, have become exaggerated versions of themselves since losing their mom last year. Henry’s anxiety has tripled while Sam’s tendencies run in the opposite direction. There is a chaotic - almost dangerous - flippancy to her now - like she’s daring fate to take from her again. Life throws them a curveball when they’re unexpectedly accepted to their mom’s childhood summer camp, Tri Summit.

Upon arriving, Henry & Sam are istantly spellbound by Tri Summit’s majestic mountains, lush forests, and crystal-blue river. They form real connections and fall in love with the mysterious, elaborate traditions of the camp. But stirring deep inside each twin is the feeling that something sinister awaited their arrival. Through a soul-searching, adrenaline-fueld journey, their destiny is revealed. Henry & Sam must draw from their unique relationship as twins to break a centuries-old curse and defeat an evil force before more innocent lives are lost - including their own.

The Twins & The Firefly blends the eerie, chills-inducing vibe of Stranger Things with the heart & depth of The Bridge to Terabithia. The characters experience profound personal growth while clinging to one another and to their new camp friends through exhilerating adventures similar to those founds in The Goonies and in The Ghost Squad. I believe this story has series potential.
