K-Pop Studio
An academy where music meets magic.
K-Pop Studio takes readers behind the excitement of a performance: Laura has to learn, practise and find a way to work with her magical companion.
Training outside Busan
The academy is outside Busan. Laura studies physical endurance, vocal technique and music theory with Seo Ara and Seo Kang. The Thunder Girls guide her through exercises where her rhythm helps Ghostkat move.
Life between lessons
Laura shares a room with Ruby Yu. Ruby records K-pop news, Napi sleeps and Ghostkat looks for spicy noodles. Friendship and everyday chaos are part of the school experience.
A lightstick of her own
Harmony Riot, a ghostly owl, listens to Laura sing before forging her lightstick. It has a golden heart at its centre. Music, identity and the fantasy world come together in this personal object.
Is this your next adventure?
If this part of Laura’s world sounds like your kind of story, start with The Magic Lightstick. Book 1 introduces the adventure and its musical magic, with humor and illustrations by Juan Carlos Bonache.
