Elvia and the Gift of Passion - Paperback

by Ruthy Ballard (Author)

An alarming family secret leads an adventurous girl into a world of witch doctors, child-eating lions, and an intragalactic submarine escapade in this delightful middle-grade portal fantasy.

Passionate, ten-year-old Elvia Hill is bored with her safe, dishwater dull life with her stiflingly overprotective parents. She knows she was meant for something... more. But the young girl gets more than she bargains for when she discovers an alarming family secret and is swept away on an adventure 64,000 light years from Earth. Complete with Tanzanian witch doctors, child-eating lions, and submarine exploration on a two-mooned planet, this science fiction fantasy adventure will delight middle-grade readers and keep them turning the pages!

The third installment in the Tales by Moons-Light series continues the tradition of the first two books, weaving solid science into a rip-roaring intragalactic coming-of-age adventure.
