When a shy girl and her dragon-like companion discover their country's idyllic weather comes at a steep-and secret-cost, they recruit fellow students to defy authority and attempt to spread the truth. Storm beasts and their guardians create perfect weather every day, and Mina longs for a storm beast of her own. But when the gentle girl bonds with a lightning beast-a creature of fire and chaos-everyone's certain it's a mistake. Everyone but Mina and the beast himself, Pixit. Quickly enrolled in lightning school, Mina struggles to master a guardian's skills, and she discovers that her country's weather comes at a devastating cost-a cost powerful people wish to hide. Mina's never been the type to speak out, but someone has to tell the truth, and, with Pixit's help, she resolves to find a way to be heard.

      Narrator Eevin Hartsough's youthful voice lends whimsy to the fantasy world of Alorria, where "storm beasts" and their human guardians control the weather. Twelve-year-old introverted Mina can't wait to become a guardian and change the world in her own way, but when her egg hatches and a lightning beast named Pixit emerges, everyone thinks it's a mistake. Lightning guardians are not timid and quiet like Mina. Overcoming her self-doubt, Mina embarks on an adventure no one ever expected. Hartsough conveys the cheerfully noisy chaos of Mina's large family; the bubbly, innocent love for Mina in Pixit's chirpy voice; the brash pushiness of the other lightning guardians; and Mina's own thoughtful courage as she discovers how to use her voice to advocate for others.
