Editorial Reviews

“Grade 5-8-A rousing, captivating story that combines action, suspense, and a host of interesting characters. As in the best of fantasies, the quest is full of adventure and danger, close calls, and a desperate situation before good triumphs in the end. The children are often incredibly brave and at the same time they are believable. . . . . Children will sigh with satisfaction when they finish reading this page-turner.”

School Library Journal - Jane G. Connor

"Gr. 4-7. This riveting first novel not only enriches the traditional conventions of the fantasy genre but also conveys a strong sense of human frailty, determination, and courage as it follows Bird and her companions in their hazardous quest to defeat Rendarren and plant the seed that will "wake the Tree to life again" and restore the land."
