Perfect for readers who love stories filled with wonder, mystery, and unforgettable friendships.
The Cost of a Choice
Two summers ago, Milo discovered something impossible in the woods behind his grandparents’ farm… a jackalope named Jack. Last summer, something deeper in the forest began to stir. From the shadows, the Elder watched… and declared that the Old Law had been broken. Now Milo has returned—and this time, the woods are waiting. When rumors spread of a captured creature hidden somewhere beyond the trees, Milo and Jack are drawn into a dangerous search that will test everything they believe about trust, friendship, and the hidden world that exists just out of sight. But as they race to make things right, the truth becomes clear: Some laws were never meant to be broken. And the choice made two summers ago… cannot be undone. As the Elder watches and prepares to pass judgment, Jack must face the consequences of the choice that changed everything. And Milo will discover what it truly means to stand by a friend… even when the cost is more than he ever imagined.
Milo thought summer on his grandparents’ farm would be the most boring summer ever.
No friends.
No internet.
Just long quiet days far away from everything he knew.
But one evening in the woods, Milo discovers something unexpected—a frightened creature trapped in a thorn bush.
When Milo helps set the strange animal free, he soon realizes the woods are hiding more secrets than he ever imagined. The creature’s name is Jack, and Jack belongs to a world most people believe exists only in stories.
As the days of summer pass, Milo and Jack form an unlikely friendship. Together they explore the fields and forests, watch fireflies glow in the evening air, and discover that sometimes the most magical moments happen when the world grows quiet.
But some secrets are meant to stay hidden, and the woods have watched over their mysteries for a very long time.
When an extraordinary night arrives—a day that shouldn’t exist on the calendar—Milo must decide whether he has the courage to protect the friend he has come to care about.
The Day the Calendar Forgot is a warm and magical story about friendship, trust, and discovering that sometimes the most wonderful things in life are the ones we never expected to find.
Perfect for readers who love heartfelt adventures filled with mystery, nature, and unforgettable friendships.
