Talee and the Maze-a-thon Race

A sky race. A nervous friend. A big adventure on the floating world of Gala.

Talee and the Maze-a-thon Race follows Talee and her flying friend Nola as they enter Gala’s very first Maze-a-thon Race.

Talee is excited and ready to soar through the sky, but when the race begins, Nola freezes at the starting line. Everyone else takes off, and Talee has to decide what matters most: winning the race or helping her friend find the courage to try.

Together, Talee and Nola race through floating paths, tricky tunnels, moving shapes, and a giant waterfall. Along the way, they learn that courage does not mean never feeling nervous. It means trying anyway, thinking through the problem, and not giving up on each other.

Set in the magical floating world of Gala, this early chapter book is filled with adventure, friendship, problem-solving, and heart.

Perfect for young readers ages 4 to 8 who love magical adventures, brave heroines, flying creatures, friendship stories, and books that build early reading confidence.
