Looking for a book for a child you know who enjoys reading? Have a look at "The Enchanted Grove".

For ages 8 to 12. Set in the stunning Drakensberg mountains of South
Africa, this adventure follows three children who love swimming and horse riding. But when they face bullies who dabble in witchcraft, poachers threatening wildlife, and a mysterious guardian of ancient Bushman cave paintings, their summer becomes a race to uncover a secret government project. This is a clean, exciting adventure with themes of courage, friendship, and respect for nature and indigenous heritage.

#PennedPossibilities 1014 If it came down to it, would your SC choose to protect the MC in a dangerous situation?

In "Cross Purposes" Janet protects Jeffery (who has a crush on her) from Mongolian archers riding past on horseback using him for target practice.

Only she's more a co-MC than an SC.
