Sam Green and the WhipEye Great Ones

Sam Green. Wildlife expert and nature lover, and desperately missing her mom. She also doesn’t think her 16th birthday should be a survival test. But she is about to learn she could die in the next 24 hours. Creepy monsters and a giant called Uncle Biggie do exist. Along with a scary guardian who wants to take over the world and an ancient wise-cracking parrot who wants to stop him. It’s up to Sam to save two worlds. With a supernatural staff named WhipEye - that she has no clue how to use. 

A powerful Lesser poisons Sam’s dad and Jake’s mom. To save their parents, Sam must bring WhipEye to Gorgon - the cruel and scheming leader of the Amazon Lessers. Gorgon demands that Sam and Jake bring him the Jewel of Origin, a weapon of great power. If he gets it, nothing will stop him. Sam and Jake must decide - will they save two worlds or save their parents? Their friendship will be tested to its limits. To stop Gorgon, Sam must be willing to risk the lives of her friends in a battle that some will not survive. 

Sam and Jake know a battle is coming, but nothing can prepare them for the Evil One. Sam and Jake have spent the last year training to become warriors. Yet Jake has grown distant from Sam and won't tell her why. Giant Lessers attack them and attach a time bomb to Jake's arm. Sam and Jake are blackmailed - capture the magical dragon, Drasine, or Jake dies. Everyone wants Drasine, including the powerful Evil One, who has been hiding for centuries and has sworn to destroy KiraKu. Worse, Drasine is protected by a mysterious being no one has been able to defeat.
