The Whispering Oak Door. Jitter Jumpers, #25

Twelve-year-old Leif is a son of the rugged coastline, a descendant of warriors whose names are etched in history. He lives by the code of "Viking Stoicism, " believing that fear is a weakness and silence is strength. But when a "Spectral Door" appears in the whispering woods, it demands a price Leif isn't prepared to pay. This isn't just a gateway; it's a manifestation of "Ancestral Turmoil" that has haunted his lineage for generations.
To find his way home, Leif must trade his steel for "Unburdened Expression" and face the ghosts of a past that won't stay buried.
