Ashley has a dream she’s a superhero flying and having adventures

Evie and Ari were so excited—they were going camping with their parents! They set up two tents near a big, beautiful forest. Evie and Ari had butterfly catchers. But as soon as they tried to catch one, the butterfly fluttered away. “Let’s follow her!” Ari laughed. They ran after the butterfly, giggling, as it danced through the air. But suddenly, they found themselves deep inside the forest. “Let’s go back,” Evie said. But when they turned around, all they saw were tall trees. “Oh no! I don’t know the way back! Where’s the path?” They started walking, but suddenly, the sky turned gray, and the wind began to blow. Then, little raindrops started falling. “I want to go back to Mama!” Evie cried. “I’m cold and wet.” They shouted Mom, dad, but the rain got stronger, and the sound of raindrops on the leaves was too loud—no one could hear them. Just then, a small, friendly bear appeared. “Come inside my cave!” he said. “You’ll be safe and dry in there.” Evie and Ari quickly ran into the bear’s cozy cave. They waited inside, drunk hot chocolate until the rain stopped and the sun came out again. “How will we find our way back?” Ari wondered. “I have an idea!” said the bear. “My friend the eagle can help!” The eagle agreed. “Hop onto my back! From the sky, you’ll be able to see your tents, and I’ll fly you home.” Evie and Ari climbed onto the eagle’s strong wings, and up they went! From high above, the trees looked tiny, and a soft breeze blew against their faces. “There! I see our tents!” Evie cheered. “Please take us down!” The eagle gently landed right next to their camping spot. “Thank you, eagle!” the kids said as they ran to their parents. Mama and Dad hugged them tight. “We were so worried!” they said. “We’re sorry,” Ari said. “We won’t go into the forest alone again!” That night, under the twinkling stars, Evie and Ari snuggled up in their tent, feeling safe and happy.

This story follows Kamen, a Whispiket, who senses a disruption in Earth’s natural balance through her ability to detect subtle changes in the wind. Whispikets, ethereal beings from the planet Cket, are tasked with maintaining Earth’s “Blues”—the sky, sea, and balance of ecosystems. Kamen detects mosquito pheromones in late September, signaling a problem since mosquitoes shouldn’t be mating at this time. She heads to the Hall of Blews to discuss the anomaly with her fellow Whispikets, Vir and Vio. Their leader, Eto, reveals that the frogs, key to controlling the mosquito population, are failing to thrive. If they don’t act quickly, the frogs’ decline will cause a mosquito surge, harming the environment. Eto sends the Whispikets across South Florida to help the frogs spawn, but a new threat arises: a massive hurricane is approaching. Whispikets are able to steer hurricanes by guiding them from the eye of the storm, and Eto assigns Kamen as the navigator with MO, a rookie Whispiket, volunteering to pilot the storm. Kamen is hesitant about MO’s inexperience but chooses to trust him. As they attempt to direct the hurricane, MO’s mistakes cause chaos—his erratic piloting revs up the winds too high, damaging human structures. However, the damage inadvertently clears debris, and the Whispikets are able to find all the frogs they need to restore balance. Kamen manages to guide the storm to safety, breaking it up over the sea and minimizing its impact. Back at the Hall, the Whispikets are buzzing about the storm’s outcome. Kamen is ready to defend MO, but Eto surprises everyone by praising his efforts. Despite his rookie piloting, MO’s actions helped clear the way for the frogs, allowing the Whispikets to restore balance to Earth. The story highlights themes of trust, growth, and the unexpected ways mistakes can lead to success. It also underscores the Whispikets' mission to protect Earth’s delicate ecosystems.

Luzia hoped for a future where everyone knew her language. As long as she spoke Upper Sorbian, it would live on.
