In a unique blend of high fantasy, earth mysticism and mythology, Katie's adventures begin when an earthquake tumbles her into another world. Thrust into a dangerous initiation quest, Katie's only chance to get back to Earth is to learn to accept herself and cooperate with an arrogant, gnome-like alien boy. On the journey, the two encounter all sorts of extraordinary characters, including a shape-shifting tree spirit, water god, and nature spirits. But will they find the elusive Winged Ones--the only beings able to take them home?

Such a good read! I rated it 4 stars. I recommend everyone to read this book as fast as they can because it's really good and the characters are fantastic.

This felt like a pretty average book to me. Ok characters, and a predictable storyline. It read to me, like some of the older books from the 70s or 80s for some reason.
I liked the integration of a poison entity in another world was damaging not only it's world but the earth, that gave it an interesting feel.
But overall this book was a bit 'meh' to me. nothing super exciting, but it wasn't exactly dull either. Just average.

This was a strong fantasy novel that I was enjoying the world that was created. It had that element that I was hoping for and enjoyed the children’s fiction novel. Ellen Dee Davidson was able to create a unique story with characters that I was looking for.
