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.

My Daughter’s New Favorite Heroine

Charlie Lane is relatable and funny, but also incredibly courageous. My daughter sees herself in Charlie and wants to save a planet too.

Perfect Blend of Imagination and Courage

I loved how this book balances a grand space opera vibe with the everyday world of a twelve-year-old girl. Charlie’s journey from wiping paint off her hands to answering a galaxy’s distress call is so imaginative yet believable. The characters, especially Kulag the Destroyer, are vivid and layered. This story encourages kids to believe that no voice is too small to make a difference.

Galaxy-Saving Fun With Heart

This is the rare story that combines high stakes with heartfelt character development. Charlie isn’t just saving Orth—she’s learning what it means to be brave and to belong. The humor keeps it light, while the danger keeps you hooked. Crowley’s performance makes every moment shine.

Wonderfully Imaginative and Full of Heart

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!

The Molewarp Is My New Favorite Spaceship

The Molewarp deserves its own shout-out! The way it’s described makes it almost a character in itself. Kulag’s journeys aboard it are thrilling, and Crowley narrates those sections with perfect pacing. Sci-fi fans will love the mix of imaginative tech and old-school adventure.

A Story That Stays With You

Even after finishing, I kept thinking about Charlie and Orth. The characters and settings are so vivid that they linger in your imagination. Crowley’s narration enhances that staying power. This isn’t just an audiobook you listen to—it’s one you carry with you afterward.

A Great Gift for Curious Kids

I bought this for my niece, who loves stories with adventure and mystery. She called me after finishing it, begging for a sequel. It’s that good

Unexpected Depths in a Fun Adventure

While the story is fun and whimsical, it doesn’t shy away from exploring identity, courage, and destiny. Charlie’s journey is about more than saving Orth—it’s about finding her place in the universe. Crowley captures both the fun and the heart perfectly. This balance makes the story memorable.

The Power of the Smallest Voice

The theme that even the smallest voice can change the universe resonated deeply. Charlie represents the idea that courage and determination matter more than size or strength. It’s an empowering message for young listeners, delivered with sincerity by Crowley’s narration. Truly inspiring.

A Must-Read Sci-Fi Adventure for Young Dreamers

The Guardian of Orth instantly reminded me of why I fell in love with books like Percy Jackson and A Wrinkle in Time. Charlie Lane is the perfect underdog heroine—relatable, brave, and thrown into a cosmic mission she never asked for. My 11-year-old daughter devoured it in two days and couldn’t stop talking about Bubble Gum Mountain and Kulag the Destroyer. The story balances suspense, humor, and heart so well. Highly recommend for any young reader who loves magical adventures with a sci-fi twist.
