First Light
Leo Morales counts his steps to his locker every morning — thirty-seven, exactly. He likes order. He likes things that line up. What he doesn't like is the folded note that falls out of his locker one afternoon, summoning him and two classmates he barely knows to a back-alley shop called Ziggy's Skate & Drone. Time to find your light, the note says.
What Leo, Jada, and Max find there isn't a prank. It's a question. And the answer they work out together — scrawled on a sticky note, almost by accident — will turn three kids who don't quite fit into something their school didn't know it needed.
First Light is the first book in The Beacon Keepers, a middle-grade series about what it takes to build something real: a team, a friendship, a place where everyone belongs. No exceptions.
