Sailor and her Explorer Academy friends Lani, Cruz, and Emmett—aka the Vela Squad—are determined to stop Hydrus at any cost. Their secret weapon? Sailor’s mysterious powers, which she is still learning how to use, all the while juggling their most challenging semester at Explorer Academy yet! To add to the pressure, it’s not just animals’ lives at stake, but the life of Sailor’s missing sister, Keel. Following a trail of clues around the globe leads the Vela Squad to an astounding discovery and daring race against the clock.
