On his 13th birthday, Leo Hernandez receives an unexpected gift—a guitar from his Uncle Javier in the Ozarks. This guitar isn’t ordinary; it holds a special kind of magic that connects Leo to his family’s past and opens doors to self-discovery, love, and the healing power of music. As Leo embarks on a journey of personal growth, he learns that music can unlock emotions and truths that words often can’t express.

Gilly keeps her secrets close—hidden in whispers, dreams, and the quiet spaces where the forest meets her imagination. Somewhere on the other side of the trees, her dad is waiting. Maybe.

With Oggy, her best friend and keeper of a thousand made-up words, Gilly searches for answers:

Can a prayer—or a spell—bring back someone who’s been gone too long?

And if she finds him, will he still be the dad she remembers?

Written in the voice of a 10-year-old girl with a heart full of questions, Tangerines is a lyrical, tender story about family, friendship, and about the quiet magic of believing in what matters most.

Reviews

One of the plagues modern entertainment faces is unoriginality. It’s becoming more and more common for stories to be unpredictable, generic, and cliche. Tangerines is anything but.

Tangerines is told through the perspective of a 10-year-old girl Gilly, following the adventures of her and her best friend, Oggy. I expected this book to be a witty, charming read targeted towards kids. After reading it, I am completely blown away by how much this book makes me think. Tangerines is clever and fun, but it’s also much more meaningful of a book than I anticipated.

Book 2 in the Leo’s Magical Journeys Series

Published by Brave Fawn Books

ISBN 979-8992055498 (eBook)

When 14-year-old Leo Hernandez stumbles upon a strange flyer in a sleepy Alabama bookstore, he doesn’t expect it to lead him into the wildest summer of his life. Magnolia House Hotel isn’t just any old place—it’s on the verge of being sold, haunted by secrets, and filled with guests who might’ve stepped out of a novel. Literally.

Working the front desk, Leo navigates breakfast disasters, mysterious books that seem to echo real life, and a moody guest who might be the villain in more ways than one. But when a girl wrapped in starlight walks through the lobby doors claiming to be from another world—and running from her own story—Leo realizes Magnolia House might be more than a hotel. It might be a crossroads.

With the clock ticking and bulldozers looming, Leo must decide: Is he just a kid earning summer cash… or is he the one meant to rewrite the ending?

A heart-filled, genre-bending adventure about found family, courage, and the magic that hides in old buildings and forgotten stories.
