The Pixel Portal Chronicles

When twelve-year-old Mia downloads an app called Portal Play onto her shiny new smartphone, she thinks it's just another game. But when she and her best friends, Ravi and Leo, are pulled into the phone and thrown into the dazzling, dangerous realm of Phantasmagoria, they realize it's anything but ordinary.
Phantasmagoria is a world where magic and technology collide-a place filled with enchanted forests, time-tangled towns, and mysterious creatures. To escape, the trio must conquer a series of grueling trials that test their courage, intellect, and loyalty. Along the way, they make unlikely allies, like a sarcastic talking squirrel named Zynk and a noble gryphon called Aerwyn, and uncover secrets that could reshape the fate of Phantasmagoria itself.
But the stakes couldn't be higher. The villainous Warden, a once-human guardian cursed by the realm, will stop at nothing to keep them trapped. As the friends journey through this magical land, they'll confront their fears, discover their inner strengths, and realize that their greatest power lies in their friendship.
Fast-paced, heartfelt, and packed with adventure, The Pixel Portal Chronicles is a thrilling tale of self-discovery, teamwork, and the power of choice. For fans of Percy Jackson and Jumanji, this modern fantasy will captivate readers ages 8-12 and transport them to a world they'll never want to leave.
