The first book in The Bella Santini Chronicles, Bella Santini in the Land of Everlasting Change, is a gripping fairy tale and a guide to emotional intelligence for teens and pre-teens.
Bella is a relatable and engaging protagonist whose determination and independence make her a fantastic role model for readers. As well as modeling both emotional intelligence and consequences in the plotline, the book offers supplemental guidance for parents to support discussion and reading, from parenting advice to resources for exploring themes like bullying and sibling rivalry more deeply.

This book is a life-changing masterpiece! It will empower children and allow them to understand themselves and the world in new ways. I strongly encourage all parents to get a copy!
Louise Jane, CEO The Golden Wizard Book Prize
Wow is this book ever needed! This is an incredibly powerful tool to help parents and educators protect our children and youth!
Andy Benjamin
A story of mastering one's own feelings and how to overcome obstacles in the way of your goals. Strong friendships are born. Bella is a character that I think many pre-teens will connect with. Not to say that this book is only for pre-teens because I thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it. The world-building was superb for an early reader chapter book. The character growth was done flawlessly. The plot was unique and held my attention the entire way through. Overall I really enjoyed it and can't wait to jump into the next book!

When readers follow Bella Santini on her adventures, they learn that love is the answer, no matter what the question!

"Bella Santini in the Land of Everlasting Change" is a different slice of a fascinating new alternate universe, that should be included fare for Harry Potter fans.

In my own words...
Bella Santini in the Land of Everlasting Change as more than just a fantasy novel—it’s a transformative tool for children and parents alike. The book seamlessly integrates emotional intelligence and coping strategies into an engaging storyline, empowering kids to respond thoughtfully to challenges rather than reacting impulsively.
The series builds emotional resilience, self-awareness, and mutual respect, making it an invaluable resource for families seeking to nurture emotionally balanced children.
