Follow Tai on a captivating treasure hunt through the colorful streets of Istanbul in the second book of this magical series!
When a shopkeeper sees Tai poring over a book about the ancient city of Istanbul in Turkey, he lets Tai take the book home with her. That night, Tai touches a special map of the world next to her bed and wishes she could see Turkey for herself. She wakes up in a bustling bazaar in the heart of Istanbul, where she meets a new friend. Together they set off on a thrilling hunt for treasure, racing through narrow streets to find clues scattered across the vibrant old city—an adventure that strengthens the bonds of friendship and leads them to discover the most important treasure of all.
