Part of Hilo, book 9
First published 2023
Gina faces her biggest challenge yet when the fate of the entire world rests on her shoulders. With her friends D.J. and Hilo at her side, she embarks on a time-bending adventure that will test everything she knows about heroism and courage. Their mission brings together an unlikely team: two warrior cats (including one particularly annoying younger sibling), a flying Bearacat, and powerful magic that could change everything. As monsters emerge and shocking twists unfold, Gina discovers that being the hero isn't just about having the right powers or the perfect plan. The whole world believes in her, but she must learn to believe in herself. This epic adventure pushes Gina to remember who she has always been deep down, even as the stakes grow higher than ever before.
