Five imperiled worlds will be rendered extinct unless five ancient and mysterious beacons can be lit in the wake of erupting wars during which three unlikely heroes make surprising discoveries about their homes and themselves.

The Sand Warrior

Nora 

Three young characters, Oona, An Tzu, and Jax, must find the strength in their differences and come together to save their dying worlds. Each has a unique and fascinating backstory, revealed as we switch back and forth between the three and their cultures. A dark entity called the Mimic is infecting the titular five worlds, and the three must illuminate the light houses on each world to drive the darkness away. On their mission against these dark forces they must also fight against the prejudices they’ve grown up with about each other’s cultures. A brilliant new universe of adventure illustrated in spectacular fashion.

Middle grade readers who loved the Amulet series and Zita the Spacegirl will definitely be interested in this!

I liked this more than I expected. I thought it sounded interesting, but I wasn't sure if it would really "pull" me into the story. I can't wait to read volume 2.
