Secrets of Sage

It started as an ordinary summer hike. It turned into the adventure of a lifetime. When Liam and his little sister Gracie set off up the mountain with their best friends Henry and Scarlet, they’re just looking to explore. Then they find a cave that isn’t on any map. One step inside, and everything changes. Green mist. Peppermint snow. A tiny green man named Shamus who greets them with a grin and a riddle. They’ve stumbled into the Realm of Sage—and the way home has sealed shut behind them. To return, the four friends must follow a mysterious path laid out by their quirky guide. But the trail is full of surprises. Riddles that make them think. Dangers that make them brave. A shadowy figure named Dagan they’ve been warned to avoid at all costs. And a beautiful, bossy parrot named Mungo squawking cryptic counsel the whole way.

Secrets of Sage is a middle-grade fantasy adventure for readers ages 9–12, blending imaginative escapades with timeless wisdom. Each chapter reads like its own episode in an adventure series, and each one is inspired by a specific Bible verse—drawn mostly from the book of Proverbs. As the kids face moral crossroads and heart-pounding challenges, they discover practical lessons about courage, humility, honesty, friendship, and wisdom. At its heart, this is a story about growing up brave. Liam carries the weight of watching over his sister. Gracie is learning she’s stronger than anyone thinks. Henry sees the world with wide-eyed wonder. Scarlet keeps them all sharp. Together they learn that God offers wisdom not as a set of rules to weigh them down, but as a gift meant to help them flourish—and that true wisdom always begins with humility.

Written by award-winning author Keven Baxter, Secrets of Sage is perfect for young readers who love enchanting worlds, thrilling quests, and stories that leave them a little braver than they were before. Families who enjoy faith-filled fantasy in the tradition of C.S. Lewis will find a new world to fall in love with here. Turn the page. Step into the cave. Discover the Secrets of Sage.
