Oscar and the Mystery of the Glowing Orbs is the first of three books in The Sensate Saga, a series exploring everyday mysteries and reminding us that there is always more going on than any of us can see.
“This earnest caper by Everts imagines a world in which adolescent hormones trigger not just emotional overdrive but empathic superpowers….Everts demonstrates how people can grow emotionally and spiritually through hardship, and delves into the affirming power of friendship and belonging.”— Publishers Weekly
“This cozy story weaves Christian themes of faith and friendship into a slow-burn mystery with spots of humor and drama. Everts develops the large, racially diverse cast of characters through strong dialogue that propels the plot.”— Kirkus Reviews
“Thanks to a compelling blend of contemporary social commentary and urban fantasy, Oscar and the Mystery of the Glowing Orbs is an engaging, ultimately uplifting read about finding your voice, accepting your flaws, and realizing that your greatest weakness can become your greatest strength―an ideal read for anyone who enjoys character-driven narratives, secret-society tropes, and stories that use the fantastical to explore real-world issues of identity, courage, and social justice.”— The Children’s Book Review, January 2026
The second book in The Sensate Saga, Annie and the Mystery of the Missing Omnis continues the beloved series with familiar characters and deeper mysteries, picking up right where the adventure left off.
Join Annie, Oscar, and the Sensates as they learn how God empowers even the most anxious hearts to find courage, lean into friendship, and make a meaningful difference in others’ lives. Through Annie’s story, readers will see how God uses our unique gifts and personalities for his greater purpose―and how vulnerability, honesty, and faith can change everything.
