Description
Many things which seem useless are magical to those who know how to use them...
Waet Tree Village has family roots and heritage as ancient as the silver trees themselves. Chassy, Nita and Andrev are expected remain here, living out traditional lives until they eventually die from lack of excitement.
-Yawn-
One summer day, their idyllic lives start to unravel, when a freaky creature straight out of a legend arrives spouting prophecies about the destruction of their village. Then an old wizard sends them on a quest with a bunch of useless gifts, but he DIES before even telling them where to go.
Retrieve the Amulet of Hope or all is lost! That's all they know; that's all anyone can tell them.
So they set off in pursuit of this mysterious amulet, each for his or her own reason. They learn that the world outside of Waet Tree Village is nothing like the storybooks they grew up with, and the Amulet of Hope is only the beginning of their adventures.
Advance Praise
The Elf and the Amulet was a wonderful read that had me wishing I was in the same quest for a wizard! The settings are detailed, and there's a pulse to the author's voice that grasps your attention for the entire book. I am very much looking forward to the next installment! - Paul Wolff
It is a great adventure especially for middle schoolers just starting to explore the fantasy realm. Great world building with characters who show us that kids can be active participants in the bigger picture. Actions have consequences as these kids find out. - S. Chan

I enjoyed this book a lot. I thought the author did a good job developing the characters and allowing the reader to feel as they were one within the book. I am curious to see how the author is going to carry on the adventure in the next book.
Chassy, Nita, and Andrev are thrown smacked dab into an adventurous journey, one that would mature them faster than they thought, in ways they never dreamed possible, in their simple lifestyle. It’s Filled with powerful magic with them some of the most powerful untrained users ever. This epic and magical tale is froth with dangerous and deadly perils with a saboteur hidden in plain sight and treacherous encounters along the way. This book makes for a relaxing, captivating, intriguing and exciting must read, that is richly entertaining.
This story is a fun romp through the world outside of Waet Tree Village - adventure, excitement, oh fluff! moments, obscure prophecies, magic goodies and odd-ball characters. The novel is an enjoyable, well-written, fast-paced, adventure-quest involving a collection of teenagers that have got into deeper events than they realized. While this book does not end on a cliff-hanger, it is definitely the first book of a series - the story doesn't end here. I am looking forward to the next installment.
