The Harmonic Wardens

Growing up means the world gets a little louder and a little more crowded. For Master Harmonic Wardens Harper and Saja, keeping their Tonawanda neighborhood safe from chaotic, noise-eating Gloom-Sprites used to be a two-person job. But now, they have two young children of their own: Penny and Leo.

Suddenly, the house is filled with a brand new kind of noise. From the midnight wails of a newborn to the crashing plastic blocks of a toddler, the happy chaos of a growing family is attracting entirely new shadows-like jittery Whimper-Sprites and squelchy Splatter-Sprites. Harper and Saja must learn that their old tools won't work the same way anymore. They have to invent new games, build sensory-friendly instruments, and teach their kids how to find the quiet space inside the mess.

When a giant, roaring Sprite threatens the entire city from the banks of the Niagara River, the duo-beat won't be enough. It's time to bring in the grandparents, the kids, and an incredibly wise eighteen-year-old cat named Zeus to build the ultimate Family Band.

The Harmonic Wardens: The Family Band is a heartwarming, action-packed chapter book about adapting to change, the reality of toddler chaos, and the absolute magic of working together as a family.
