The Crumbling Kingdom: Pictures of Magic, Book 1
A magical picture. A crumbling kingdom. An adventure that will change everything...

When Miles and his siblings discover a strange tree deep in the forest, they find more than leaves hanging from its branches. The tree holds magical photographs, each one a living window into another world. But when one picture accidentally slips from a hand... it stirs a magic that cannot be undone.

In another realm, a kingdom is broken. The king has vanished, the roads are falling apart, and the people have nearly lost hope. Something darker lurks beneath the surface, feeding the fear and decay. Together, the children must solve puzzles, uncover the truth, and inspire a frightened prince to face his fears before the realm collapses forever.
