K-Pop Studio · English edition · Ages 8–12
Meet the team behind the music.
A fan with a new mission, a star in trouble and magical companions with plenty of opinions: K-Pop Studio is a world of characters to get attached to.
Laura: a fan finding her own voice
Twelve-year-old Laura loves K-pop and admires Crowlyn. Becoming part of a magical adventure means learning new skills and making decisions herself. Her starting point is familiar: loving something long before knowing whether you can do it.
Crowlyn: the star who needs help
Crowlyn is Laura’s favorite performer. Finding her in danger changes Laura’s relationship with the world she admires and opens the door to the mission at the heart of The Magic Lightstick.
Ghostkat: magic with a mischievous streak
Laura’s ghost-cat companion brings personality and humor to the adventure. He loves spicy instant noodles, but working together takes more than sharing a meal: Laura and Ghostkat need to coordinate through music.
Ruby and Napi: friendship between rehearsals
Ruby Yu shares Laura’s room at the academy and records K-pop news. Her capybara companion Napi enjoys sleeping and protects his food. Their everyday habits bring comedy to a world with very unusual challenges.
A cast to discover from the beginning
Start with Book 1 to meet the characters through Laura’s adventure. Their friendships, contrasting personalities and musical connections give readers reasons to keep turning the pages beyond finding out what happens next.
