Oliver
Oliver Wilding is twelve years old, animal-obsessed, and about to have the adventure of a lifetime. His room is covered in wildlife posters, his backpack is stuffed with library books, and his head is filled with a thousand amazing facts about the natural world. But knowing facts and living an adventure are two very different things.
In Zoolithia, his knowledge becomes his greatest weapon, but he’ll need more than facts to survive. He’ll need courage, quick thinking, and the willingness to trust friends he never expected to make. Oliver’s about to learn that understanding animals isn’t just about memorizing information—it’s about seeing the wonder in every living thing.
Amelia
Amelia is Oliver’s cousin, and where Oliver collects facts, Amelia collects clues. She’s clever, confident, and never without her notebook. While other twelve-year-olds are scrolling through social media, Amelia is solving logic puzzles and piecing together mysteries. She approaches problems like a detective—observing, questioning, and always looking for the pattern others miss. Some might call her bossy. She prefers “decisive.”
In Zoolithia, her analytical mind proves invaluable—she’s the one who deciphers ancient riddles, spots the clues hidden in murals, and figures out how to outsmart creatures that shouldn’t exist. But she’ll also discover that not every problem can be solved with logic alone. Sometimes, you just have to trust your heart and take a leap of faith.
