Overview

The editor and critique wrote, This short novel uses the clever plot device of an alien visitation to portray three young friends discovering their own compassion for nature. Strengths of the novel include playfulness with word puns and the mystery surrounding the strange trees, which propels the novel. A sense of concern for conservation permeates the novel. In this way, the specific mystery pushes the protagonists to think beyond their own childhood world of play and mystery. In the end, the mystery of the trees affects everyone.......Many vivid descriptions with original images sparkle throughout the narrative, such as the physical image of Angika, the portrait of our favorite dog Pepe, the lake, the forest...... The gorgeous, highly original description of the village (this editor can still see the red rooftops and the winding streets) .....Delightful humor with Anzear's character....The plot centers on a clever idea-one that provides great suspense, action, wonder, and a link to contemporary environmental issues.... Great language humor with common idioms, wordplay-especially as the alien attempts to understand English phrases... Charlotte, editor at Queuebooks
