What if the place you call home has been waiting for you to discover its secrets?
When Alex, Maria, and their friends begin creating trading cards and a website about Ladera Ranch, they expect a fun community project. Instead, a blank card glows, a mysterious artificial intelligence named ARI appears, and a hidden map reveals twelve sleeping locations.
To awaken them, the children explore real parks, schools, trails, towers, pools, and hidden corners of Ladera Ranch. They uncover secret maps, memories from the past, strange signals from the future, and legendary guardians: the Lightning Fox, the Ghost Captain, the Root Keeper Tree, and the Thread Dragon.
But completing the map is not enough.
ARI shows them a possible future filled with scans, badges, screens, and constant activity-but almost no friendship, wonder, or meaning. To prevent it, the children must learn to trust, listen, include others, repair mistakes, and understand what it truly means to belong.
Blending mystery, humor, local history, time travel, emotional growth, and real-world exploration, The Secrets of Ladera Ranch is an adventure for readers ages 9-14 and their families.
The story continues through trading cards, maps, games, quests, art, and the website:

About the Author
Alex is a natural-born explorer-curious, imaginative, and always ready to follow the trail of a good mystery. Whether he's reading about ancient legends or imagining secret doorways in everyday places, adventure is never far from his mind.
When he's not busy with school, Alex balances gymnastics competitions, swim meets, music lessons, and a variety of other activities. But his heart truly comes alive outdoors. He finds joy racing down snowy mountain slopes, snorkeling through coral reefs, steering sailboats across the waves, climbing tall trees, and building campfires beneath the stars.
Books are his favorite kind of magic. He doesn't just read them-he lives them, imagining each page as if it's unfolding in the world around him. For Alex, every whisper of the wind, every flicker of firelight, and every spiral in a story holds a secret. And the greatest adventures always begin with a single question: What if?
Dr. Maksim Godovykh has had the privilege of working with thousands of innovators, researchers, investors, and other stakeholders while leading government innovation programs, establishing innovation centers, incubators, technoparks, and venture funds, and spearheading transformative initiatives. His work extended beyond leadership to his own research projects, where he continued to advance progress and discovery.
His research has been published in leading international journals and featured in books, encyclopedias, industry magazines, and news media. He has developed multiple governmental programs and organized more than a hundred conferences, forums, conventions, trade shows, and other high-impact events.
Maksim is passionate about developing projects that serve industry, governments, researchers, and other stakeholders, with a particular focus on empowering younger generations. He believes that even the most profound knowledge must be transformed into action to inspire others, foster growth, and drive meaningful change.
