Even Amy had that horrible feeling you get when you're falling in a dream. Goodness only knows where they got the courage to jump, but they did, and poor Jason nearly did miss. He caught the bottom edge of the moon as he tumbled through the sky. It was a good thing that Ivy was able to grab him as she whizzed past and pull him along. This is how they all landed in a heap on soft grass and stared up at a much younger Elder Tree in the forgotten land of Elden. When Amy, Ivy, and Jason arrive on their grandparents' farm for the summer, they expect the usual fun activities: collecting eggs, swimming, and enjoying the simple pleasures of nature. What they didn't expect was to be thrown into a whirlwind adventure that will literally take them to the other side of the moon and back. The children find themselves in the land of Elden, thanks to a magical tree on the farm. There they will find themselves not only on a journey of discovery about their heritage but on a quest to defeat an evil dragon and restore balance to their own world. Will Amy, Ivy, and Jason be able to complete their quest and make it safely home? Join author Wilberjoe Brown for a harrowing tale of family, friendship, and mystical adventure all thanks to The Elder Tree.
