Bryce and the Lost Pearl

Journey through time and space to the world of Glideon, where a group of teen Lightgliders are tasked with saving a mysterious land filled with Gliddles, talking spiders, and diabolical Machines

Victor Harbor, Australia, 2024

Life is full of responsibilities for fifteen-year-old Bryce Holland. Between working at his uncle’s horse stables, playing his newly earned spot on the varsity basketball team, and leading a Bible study, the juggling act of his life is on the verge of a crash. The stress of a season-ending ankle sprain and seeing the girl he likes with the rival player who caused the injury, pushes Bryce over the edge and into making bad decisions.

When his uncle’s Clydesdale, which he rides without permission, gets away from him, the search to find the horse sends Bryce wandering deep into the woods and into the alternate realm of Glideon. There he meets other teens, who have been tasked with rescuing the Gliddles from Machines that threaten the land. Along the way, Bryce and his new friends discover the mysterious pearl that will guide them in their journey to resurrect Lightglider Academy, rescue the Gliddles, and restore the land.
