Join Us for Pokémon Day and Book Launch News

There’s a special kind of excitement that builds when a story you love is about to spread its wings again — and we are absolutely thrilled to share that the fifth installment in the Wings of Wisdom series is on the horizon!

✨ Roderick’s Perilous Journey Is Coming Soon!

The upcoming fifth book in the beloved series, Roderick’s Perilous Journey by M. M. Elmendorf Hopson, featuring breathtaking illustrations by Leo Chen, is nearing completion — and we cannot wait to place it into the hands of young readers and families.

Roderick’s next adventure promises heart, courage, challenge, and the kind of wisdom that has made this series such a meaningful experience for readers. With Leo Chen’s luminous artwork bringing every page to life, this newest chapter will carry forward the warmth and wonder that defines Wings of Wisdom.

While we had hoped to debut it at this year’s Pokémon Day celebration, it won’t quite be ready for launch by this Sunday’s event. But the wait will be short! The book is expected to release soon after — and we encourage everyone who’s eager to follow Roderick’s next great adventure to keep an eye on the Ford Mountain Publishing website and social media channels for the official release announcement.

Trust us — you won’t want to miss it.
