About this listen

The Guardian of Orth
A secret planet. A schoolgirl with hidden power. A galaxy on the brink of war.

Twelve-year-old Charlie Lane never expected her school day to end with a galactic distress call in a toilet cubicle. One moment, she's wiping black paint off her hands, the next she's talking to a bearded stranger beamed from another world—a world under siege. Orth is in danger, and only she can save it.

In another part of the galaxy, Kulag the Destroyer, a grizzled veteran of interplanetary conflict, has uncovered a terrifying pattern. Something ancient and powerful is awakening, targeting planets one by one. All signs now point to Orth.

As Charlie’s ordinary life collides with extraordinary destiny, she must navigate talking projections, witches atop Bubble Gum Mountain, and a growing darkness threatening the entire Ruby Galaxy. Meanwhile, Kulag races through space aboard the Molewarp, determined to stop the enemy before it reaches Orth—but he can’t do it alone.

Bound by fate and separated by light-years, Charlie and Kulag must discover the truth behind the ancient Guardians, the source of the chaos, and Charlie’s unexpected role in the universe’s most desperate hour.

Perfect for fans of A Wrinkle in Time, Keeper of the Lost Cities, and Percy Jackson, The Guardian of Orth is a thrilling sci-fi fantasy adventure full of wonder, courage, and the discovery that even the smallest voice can change the fate of worlds.

This book takes the classic chosen-one trope and spins it into a fresh, galaxy-spanning tale that hooked me from the first page. Charlie’s transition from ordinary schoolgirl to interstellar hero is believable and empowering, and Kulag is the perfect gruff-yet-loyal warrior companion. The world-building is so vivid—I could picture Orth and the Ruby Galaxy like a movie in my head. If your kids like adventure, friendship, and a bit of cosmic mystery, they’ll love this one!
