Secrets of the Chickasaw Tablet

In the quiet aftermath of their Viking adventure, Reina, Rhett, and Ryder are back in Creek's Hollow, grinding through summer jobs at the quirky antique shop owned by Pippa and Jezebel. Eager for excitement but stuck sorting dusty treasures, the trio uncovers a mysterious stone tablet etched with ancient Chickasaw symbols and stories.

Drawn once more into the enigmatic cabinet, they're transported to the rugged plains of 19th-century Oklahoma, where they encounter Nita, a young Chickasaw boy on his dangerous first bison hunt-a rite of passage to prove his manhood after his tribe's forced relocation. Accompanied by the clever macaw Logi, they brave stampeding herds, confront a massive black bear, and outwit the sly Rabbit trickster spirit, who weaves illusions of the past and tests their bonds with cunning deceptions. As alliances strengthen and danger escalates, Reina, Rhett, and Ryder must embrace Chickasaw wisdom to help Nita honor his heritage and find true courage... before the sands of time trap them in history forever.

Weaving pulse-racing fantasy with touching historical echoes, Secrets of the Chickasaw Tablet is the captivating second book in The Cabinet of Time series. Ideal for fans of The Magic Treehouse, Percy Jackson, and The Chronicles of Narnia, this middle-grade tale delves into themes of resilience, respect for nature, and the enduring spirit of unity.
