Description

When 10-year-old Molly Parnell's grandmother mysteriously disappears, she and her mother travel to Cape Cod to take ownership of her house and to get answers about the sudden disappearance.
In the attic, they find a beautiful mermaid welcome sign and decide to place it on the front door. Soon they are flooded with strange visitors who claim they knew Molly's grandmother-and discover she was part of a secret organization working to keep balance between the magical realm and the real world.
An angry rebel group of magical beings, tired of living in hiding, is tearing down the fabric between the two worlds. If they are not stopped, the magical realm will no longer be safe.
As Molly embarks with her mom on a dangerous adventure throughout the magical realms to stop the rebels, she learns of her own magical powers and her family heritage connected to the welcome sign. Along the way, she teams up with new magical friends and discovers that her grandmother was right all along: the world she thought she knew no longer exists, but an amazing world of magic has always been hiding in plain sight.
The first in a potential middle-grade series, THE WELCOME SIGN will appeal to readers who like books with hidden magical realms, characters with magical powers and a quest to save the world from evil.
