Bindi and Beam – Book 2
by Casper Pieters

Something strange is happening at school. Hurtful rumors spread faster than messages can be deleted, and someone is being targeted behind the safety of a screen.

When Beam Arora, a curious coder with a big heart, sets out to uncover who’s behind the cruelty, he stumbles into a digital puzzle more complex than anything he’s ever faced. With his twin sister Bindi, their friends Jack and Maddy, and a quiet classmate named Lee, Beam is pulled into a web of secrets that stretches from the real world into a mysterious virtual one—where logic, friendship, and courage are tested like never before.

As the lines between code and reality blur, the friends must work together to confront fear, injustice, and the unseen power of words. Every click, every choice, and every act of kindness could mean the difference between rescue and regret.

The Mauled Mage is a fast-paced, emotionally charged adventure about standing up for what’s right, protecting others from harm, and remembering that the strongest magic of all comes from empathy and teamwork.
