About the Series
Kingdom of Florida is an award-winning, middle-grade Florida fantasy book series from Taylor Thomas Smythe that follows the adventures of young children who find their way into a mysterious and enchanted land full of fantastic creatures and curious characters.
When a group of South Florida children discover a hidden gate leading into a parallel world known as the Kingdom, they are thrust into a realm of talking creatures, enchanted artifacts, and ancient magic.
The Kingdom—once ruled by the benevolent Triumvirate—has fallen under the grip of the evil Prince Florian, a cunning usurper determined to destroy every remaining portal between worlds to prevent any true heirs from returning.
In each book, the children uncover new mysteries, forge dynamic allies, discover magical relics, and dive deeper into the Kingdom’s past. Their quest takes them across a richly imagined world, leading toward a final confrontation that will determine the Kingdom’s future—and their own.
A sweeping, award-winning middle-grade fantasy series filled with heart, humor, wonder, and unforgettable adventure. Kingdom of Florida is a wholesome, magical middle-grade hidden portal fantasy adventure series for all ages. Explore all seven books from author Taylor Thomas Smythe.
