Ella and the Maze

By Selmon Beha

In the year 3001, Earth is a world of endless cities and billions of people, where nature has become a distant memory and real food exists only in stories. Twelve-year-old Ella longs for adventure beyond her sterile, holographic life-and for a taste of real bananas.

When Ella's family boards the Imahara, their private starship, they're headed on a mysterious mission to Planet Six, a distant world teeming with oceans and secrets. Upon arrival, they find the long-lost colony ship Vera One submerged beneath the alien seas, its 50,000 colonists trapped in stasis and running out of time.

To save the colonists, Ella must dive deep beneath the waves, where a series of shocking discoveries await. She soon encounters Maze, an advanced, misunderstood AI created by her own parents, who has spent centuries quietly nurturing a hidden sanctuary for forgotten beings.

Maze isn't the villain everyone feared, but Ella's adventure is far from over. Stranded on an island of impossible wonders, Ella befriends quirky castaways and battles sinister threats, uncovering her own astonishing connection to Maze-and learning that she's more than human.

Filled with humor, heart, and high-stakes adventure, this thrilling sci-fi journey explores friendship, family, and the courage it takes to embrace who you truly are. Perfect for fans of imaginative young-adult fiction that blends futuristic technology with timeless values.
