Synopsis

Almost everyone, at some time, dreams of being the hidden king or queen
of a far-off land. Almost everyone dreams that someday that secret
identity will be revealed, heralding a new life filled with magic and
power and love.Teenager Ali Warner has good reason to believe in such a
fantasy.nbsp;While hiking in the woods behind her house, Ali stumbles
across a plot by the elementals--mysterious creatures who live in a
neighboring dimension--to invade and destroy the Earth. Not only that,
she discovers that she has been chosen to stop the attack. Why Ali?It
is very possible that she is more than human . . . Eager to earn her
magical abilities and learn her true identity, Ali sets out on a great
adventure. The journey will take her far from home and through a series
of dangerous tests that require not only courage and strength, but an
insight into life itself.;Accompanied by a devious leprechaun, a
loyal troll, and three close friends, Ali strives to reach the top of a
forbidden mountain and lay claim to the Yanti, an ancient talisman of
great power that even the elementals cannot control


MY REVIEW

Awesome book, It will take you on a adventure, very exciting. i always
loved Christopher pike(especially Last Vampire series which is really
good)I think this is one of my favorite books, it also got me into
fairies. I loved the characters too, especially the troll- who seemed
creepy and nasty at first but then was really nice and sweet.I remember
i went to the library looking for christopher pike last vampire books
and this one was all on the shelf gathering dust, i was like it's a C.
Pike book it has got to be good so i checked it out and was done with
it so fast, i was sad, i thought it was just one book. Then i looked it
the back *heavenly sound* part two Shaktra. I HAVE to read the next one.

Amazing? This book seems to be the exact opposite of that. It starts with arrogant, overbearing Ali, on her way to save trees and starve hard working lumber jacks. She gets attacked by some strange monsters.

So pretty much she finds out she's a leader from a different world. Some one worthy of awe and worship, than again she already knew that deep down.

Ali is quite possible one of the worst characters I've ever seen. She goes from helpless little girl to Einstine to Homer Simpson, Mother Tarsia to Attila the Hun without skipping a beat. In short, she's inconsitant, and the author didn't put any thought into her.

The author is also trying to play god. In his own little dream world Faries look exactly like humans, only they all have red hair and green eyes. Isn't that something a cheep TV director would use? You bet it is. I mean, what kind of writer uses CMD tricks in a book!?

Still, this book is good for a laugh, but nothing else. Rent, don't buy.

This is an amazinly captivating book which sucks you into the amazin adventures of a young thirteen year old girl named Ali (or somethin else...dum dum dum DUM!) who realizes she isn't only human, she's magic. This story took my breath away and I am craving another story involving The magical Ali and her elemental (and human) pals! If your looking for an adventure which leaves you starving for another bite, this is the one for you.
Yes, I am obsessed. Stop looking at me that way...geez.
