Books with title The 29 Elements

The Elements of Art are the latest super heroes and heroines. These five draw their powers—literally—from the essentials of all visual art: Color, Line, Texture, Shape and Value. Their exploits are an adventure-filled way to intrigue children about art’s elements, history, styles and principles. In this first riveting chapter, we are introduced to the majestic world of the Conceptual Dream. At the heart of this mystical dimension we find the majestic city of Paintropolis under siege by a malefic being. Can the Elements stop the Scribble onslaught, or will Paintropolis be consumed by the Scribbles’ scornful master?

The day Simon Jenkins discovered he was an Elemental had started like any normal school day. But when trouble hit, he called out for help and help came...from the very earth beneath his feet. From that moment on, Simon's life is anything but normal. He is thrust into a whole new world, a world of miracles and secrets, a world that challenges everything he has ever believed. He discovers that there are others of his kind, others who share his remarkable talents, but others who include the one person in the world that he fears and hates the most. And as if that isn't enough, he and his new companions soon learn that the entire human race is under threat and that they are the only things standing between humanity and the most powerful enemy it has ever faced.

These four 13-year-old siblings are no ordinary humans. They are the grandchildren of a god—demigods!—and the divinity that runs in their blood grants each child extraordinary power over one of the four elements—earth, water, fire, and wind. Rok has earth power. He is a gentle soul who loves to meditate. Pegi, always the athlete, can manipulate water. Rojan plays with fire without being burned, and enjoys experimenting in the kitchen. Lihala loves to weave both fabric and wind, shaping currents of air with her mind. The four children live with their parents in a glass castle in the wilderness, deemed both royalty and gods by the villagers who settle around their home. The human villagers are drawn to the power of the castle’s greatest treasure—the ZUKOPAL, a mysterious opal ring that shimmers with all the colors of the rainbow. The children’s father, King Nyark, built the pyramid castle from the Zukopal and his light power. However, the King’s twin brother Labec lurks in the shadows of Zuuland. Driven by grief over an unspeakable loss, he is determined to steal the Zukopal back from King Nyark. Labec is the yin to his brother’s yang, and he has suffered in darkness for far too long. With the help of his children, Coltin and Menga, the vengeful Labec will stop at nothing to steal the Zukopal and shine with light like before! Labec's daughter Menga, the ice demigod, just wants her papa to stop fighting so she can play with her cousins. Can she change his heart and bring peace to her broken family? Or will her papa steal the Zukopal and break the family further apart?
