About this listen

In the shadow of the slumbering Mount Ignis, a mystery is smoldering. Stephanie has always been told that the volcano is nothing more than a silent giant of stone and ash. But when her village’s buildings begin to vanish into thin air leaving behind only the faint scent of sulfur and a dusting of lavender-colored ash she realizes the legends are true.

Armed with an ancient, heat-sensitive map and her own sharp wit, Stephanie embarks on a high-stakes journey into the heart of the mountain. She soon discovers that the volcano isn’t a monster; it’s a lonely, fading spirit that is “borrowing” the village to keep its own heart beating.

From gravity-defying bridges made of basalt to a baker’s shop suspended over liquid magma, Stephanie must navigate a world where the floor can turn to smoke and the rocks speak in echoes. To save her home, she won’t need a sword or a spell she’ll need to rediscover a lost connection between her people and the earth.

The Volcano’s Vanishing Village is a breathtaking middle-grade adventure about bravery, empathy, and the hidden magic that hums just beneath our feet.
