Bryce and the Lost Pearl

by Victor Harbor

Journey through time and space to the world of Glideon…

For fifteen-year-old Bryce Holland, life already feels overwhelming. Between working at his uncle’s horse stables, fighting for his spot on the varsity basketball team, and leading a Bible study, the weight of responsibility is heavy. But when an ankle injury, heartache, and a poor decision set off a chain of events, Bryce stumbles into a mysterious new world called Glideon-a realm filled with Gliddles, talking spiders, and dangerous Machines.

There, Bryce joins other teens on a mission: to rescue the Gliddles, uncover the power of a mysterious pearl, and help restore Lightglider Academy. Along the way, he discovers that courage, friendship, and faith are stronger than fear - and that his choices matter more than he ever realized.
