ROOMS

Twelve-year-old Callen Ward never meant to disappear. He was just trying to escape a group of bullies when he slipped into a room no one else could see-a hidden room with transparent walls, where the world kept moving... but he didn't.

That was the first room.

Soon, Callen discovers there are more-rooms tucked inside ordinary places all over the world. Abandoned buildings. Forgotten tunnels. Quiet corners where reality doesn't behave the way it should. Each room feels different. Some feel safe. Others feel like they're waiting for something.

Inside one of the rooms, Callen finds proof his father-believed dead for five years-may have been there recently.

Armed with a strange coin, a notebook filled with cryptic clues, and the help of a mysterious girl named Nyah, Callen begins exploring the rooms and uncovering a secret network hidden in plain sight. But the rooms weren't built for kids... and they weren't built to be explored.

Someone is watching who enters them.

And the deeper Callen goes, the more he realizes the rooms are connected-by purpose, by memory, and by something that was never meant to be released.

ROOMS is a thrilling middle-grade adventure about curiosity, courage, and the danger of stepping into places you don't yet understand-perfect for readers who love mystery, hidden worlds, and stories where the ordinary hides something extraordinary.
