Divine notices things other people miss. A quiet shift in the air. A moment before someone breaks. The tension beneath ordinary conversations. At first, she thinks it's just a feeling. But when Raul and Emily begin noticing it too, the three friends discover something strange connecting them - an awareness that grows stronger whenever they choose to step toward the moments everyone else ignores. Then Marcus starts to notice as well.
As subtle tensions around Majestic School begin building into something bigger, the group realises this is about more than intuition. Something unseen is moving quietly through the spaces between people, and their presence seems capable of changing what comes next. But noticing is only the beginning. Protectors: The Ones Who Noticed is an emotionally rich upper middle grade novel about friendship, empathy, courage, and the quiet moments that shape who we become.
Perfect for readers who enjoy thoughtful contemporary fiction with mystery, heart, and emotionally intelligent characters.
