Book Description:

Welcome to the Ascension: a dangerous race to climb the Witch's Tree to unlock the secrets of its godlike power. Here are some quick race tips:

#1: Don't be a snack for the creatures lurking on the gargantuan tree. Oh by the way, good luck with that.

#2: Beat every other climber to the top before they beat you silly.

#3: Enter the Tower of Thorns with a full spell book, your best set of nunchucks, and every single vial of pepper spray ever made.

#4: Survive.

But first, warm your hands by the fire as this book brings you right into its own cozy version of the Shire at the beginning, so that you may become acquainted with the characters before they face the dangers to come...
Fans of Percy Jackson will also enjoy this inspiring story of heroic perseverance against the impossible...
(A Contemporary Fantasy Adventure/Humorous Mystery, ages 9 & up)

When life gives Tiz Phoenix lemons, she hunts life down and kicks it in the shin. Afterwards, she juices those lemons then plants the seeds. She's a tree nymph. And that's what tree nymphs do to survive in a modern society that keeps stretching across our Earth.

Now that Tiz is thirteen, she's counting down the seconds to a tree nymph rite of passage that would grant her an object of immense power. With it, she could save her woodland home and reach her goal of protecting all things good and green.

That is, if she doesn't get grounded first.

The day before the rite, Tiz stumbles upon a pamphlet that her mother unwittingly dropped ? her mom wants to banish her to a military academy for magical beings that lies in the farthest corner of the universe. Unlike other mystical schools that young witches and warlocks desperately want to get into, Tiz would rather run for the hills to stay out.

However, her attempts to avoid going could lead her into an even bigger mess ? a mystery involving a monstrous green tree of legendary evil.

(Please note that this is a complete novel ? no cliffhanger)

ABNA Expert Reviewer #1

I think this has all the working parts of a very good book. The writing is quite good, the characters are believable and likeable, with a possible educational twist.

Expert Reviewer #2

I liked this idea because it really was different. I loved the description of a tree nymph, as described by the author. I loved the way the author said that tree nymphs looked like normal girls but that they had a special attachment to nature. And I loved the way the author said that a tree nymph could allow leaves to be greener and flowers to grow at her feet. It was just sweet and delightful to read and think about and it was new and different, even in a fantasy! I loved the subtle message that seemed to be implied, tree nymphs wanted to save their woods and preserve nature. This writer seems to have a lovely way with descriptive language.
