*The City That Vanished in One Night* is a lyrical and enchanting 36-page illustrated story for young readers, blending mystery, magic, and the quiet power of friendship. When the city of Al-Nur mysteriously disappears overnight—leaving only an empty sky and silence—four children, Layla, Sam, Zara, and Tariq, discover they are the only ones who remember it ever existed. Guided by a glowing compass, their grandfather's cryptic journal, and relics hidden in dreamlike echoes of theiandtheiandrr lost home, they must solve riddles tied to perception, storytelling, and kindness to restore their city before time runs out.
Set against a backdrop that weaves Middle Eastern cultural motifs with timeless themes of memory and belonging, the story unfolds like a whispered legend—poetic, evocative, and rich with symbolic imagery. With its emphasis on imagination, subtle spiritual undertones, and the idea that some truths are known only to those who've lived them, the tale invites readers to believe in the invisible threads that connect people, places, and moments across time.
Perfect for ages 7–12, this modern fable celebrates curiosity, courage, and the enduring magic of shared experience—leaving room for wonder long after the final page
