On an island like no other, an incredible adventure begins. Young Plum is shocked to discover that sheโ€™s been accepted to the Guardian Academy on Lotus Island, an elite school where kids learn how to transform into Guardians, magical creatures who are sworn to protect the natural world.

The Guardian masters teach Plum and her friends how to communicate with animals and how to use meditation to strengthen their minds and bodies. The kids also learn to fight, so they can protect the defenseless if needed.

To her dismay, Plum struggles at school. While her classmates begin to transform into amazing creatures, Plum canโ€™t even seem to magic up a single feather! If she canโ€™t embrace her inner animal form soon, sheโ€™ll have to leave schoolโ€”and lose the first group of real friends sheโ€™s ever known.
