Return to Lotus Island!
Plum is facing the most difficult test of her Guardian powers yet. Lotus Island is in danger, and there's not much time to save this special place.
Power-hungry Councilor Yurn is headed to the island with a ship full of hoverbots and a devious plan in mind: he means to take over Lotus Island and build a new city there. His plan will destroy the fragile ecosystem, including the island's precious lotus plants. When the Guardians learn that their unique powers are dependent on the lotus flowers, they realize just how much is at stake if Yurn succeeds. Plum must rely on her smarts, her Guardian powers, and most importantly--her friends--to save Lotus Island and all it stands for.
