A Girl Named Ari takes young readers back more than 3,500 years to the bustling Bronze Age town of Akrotiri on the island of Thera. Ari’s world is filled with family, friends, busy streets, sailing ships, and the everyday rhythms of life on a beautiful Aegean island. But when the mountain at the heart of the island begins to change, Ari and her community must face an uncertain future.

Inspired by the remarkable archaeological discoveries at ancient Akrotiri, this illustrated historical story brings the lost world of Bronze Age Thera to life through the eyes of a young girl.
