Keeper of the Lost Cities is such an amazing series! It has everything—adventure, magic, mystery, and tons of heart. The world in the books is super cool because it’s a secret society of magical people, hidden away from regular humans. The main character, Sophie Foster, is awesome! She’s smart, brave, and she has to face all of these huge challenges, like figuring out who she really is and how to use her powers. Plus, the other characters are all really interesting too, and they each have their own cool abilities and problems to solve. It’s a mix of exciting action and emotional moments that keep you hooked the whole time!
