If you’re new here, this is The Suitcase Summers. 🧳
It’s an illustrated adventure series about cousins Stephen and Ty, a mysterious vintage suitcase, and the extraordinary places it takes them.
Each story begins with a family summer adventure.
Then the suitcase opens.
Book One, The Lost Crown of the Isle, begins in Hawaii and leads Stephen and Ty to the magical island of Noniluna, where a crown has disappeared and getting home will require more courage—and more trust in each other—than either cousin expected.
