The Lantern of Curiosity

Here is the blurb for "The Lantern of Curiosity":
THE LANTERN OF CURIOSITY Love to inspire, study to succeed.
In the bustling village of Oakhaven, fourteen-year-old Mateo doesn't want to just build with his hands—he wants to build with his mind. Dreaming of an ingenious gravity-fed aqueduct to save the parched valley, he spends his days buried in the archive’s ancient, chaotic engineering ciphers. But as his wise mentor, Master Donald, reminds him: “You cannot give water to a thirsty village with an empty jug.” True success requires quiet, disciplined study.
Yet, Mateo soon discovers that knowledge is only half the battle. When he meets Kaelen, a spirited twelve-year-old apprentice struggling to master her craft, Mateo shares the grain-carving secrets of mountain oak. In doing so, he sparks a transformative partnership: he has the theory, but she has the hands to build it.
When a late-summer drought threatens their home, and a sudden, violent autumn deluge puts their hard work—and the entire village—to the ultimate test, Mateo and Kaelen must rely on the sturdy foundation they've built together.
From dusty archives to rushing floodgates, The Lantern of Curiosity is a heartwarming, triumphant tale of purpose, grit, and the magic that happens when we study to build our minds and inspire to lift our world. For true success is never a solitary trophy, but the ripple of good we leave behind.
