An Adventure Beyond the Map
by Anna Kushkova
What if a single box could unlock the path to ancient secrets, distant lands, and the truth about your own heart?
When young Nicole discovers her uncle's mysterious box hidden among dusty books and forgotten maps, she finds more than just a clue to his disappearance. She finds a key to an incredible journey — one that leads beyond the ordinary and into a world of wonders, riddles, ancient cities, and timeless lessons.
Together with a clever parrot named Rio and a new friend Lucas, Nicole follows a trail deep into the mountains of Peru in search of the legendary City of Golden Horizons. Along the way, she must face her fears, unlock ancient codes, and discover the power that lies not in treasure, but within herself.
