Two Worlds, One Family
Many adolescents feel like their siblings come from another planet. For twelve-year-old Rivalo, it’s true.
While recovering from a serious illness, Rivalo’s older sister suddenly confides to him that she is really someone else. Someone from another world, one very different from his own. Will the shy, bookish boy be able to assist his outspoken new friend adapt to her surroundings while also investigating what happened to his now missing sister? More importantly, will he be able to help both find their way home?
Tales of a Stranger Sister is a low-stakes slice-of-life fantasy novel inspired by classic portal fantasy, isekai light novels, and the films of Studio Ghibli. Centered on friendship, family, and community, and set against a backdrop of serene forests, sprawling mountain farms, and jubilant festivals, it is the story of a young man learning that the most powerful force in any world isn’t magic, empires, or even the gods.
It’s kindness.

Tales of a Stranger Sister is available to buy as an ebook for $2.99 USD, paperback for $11.99 USD and through Kindle Unlimited.
