The Adventures of Niko and Lira

Every night, when the sky begins to darken, one light appears before all the rest.

People call it the first star. But it is not a star at all.

It is a magical world called Lumingrove, where the Lumis live.

Niko, Lira and baby Tavi sit together in Lumingrove inside a golden ring of glowing lanterns, with lit treehouse windows behind them.

Meet Niko and Lira

Niko and Lira are twins. They live in Lanternleaf House, high up in the glowtrees, with their mom, their dad and their baby brother, Tavi.

The cover of A Light for Tavi: inside a golden frame of leaves and lanterns, Niko and Lira kneel beside their baby brother Tavi, who holds a small glowing stone.
