EL, MS, HS - ADVISABLE

For the first time, Tamora Pierce has written a novel that was produced first as an audiobook and then a year later, Fall 2008, the traditional written book will be published. Characters from Pierce’s Circle of Magic series are again brought to life in a new adventure. Evvy, from Street Magic, Rosethorn, and Myrrhtide are sent to evaluate and assist a village on a far off island Starns. The villages are reporting their plants and forests are dying of an unknown ailment. Unknown to Evvy, she and her companion Luvo will be instrumental in saving the island from the destructive forces of the volcano spirits Flare and Carnelian.

Readers will thoroughly enjoy listening to this adventure. With many voices, including Tamora Pierce herself, the story comes alive and readers become connected to the characters in a way different from that of silent reading.
