The Magic of Shimmar T M Ramsay

Meet Emma, an elf-loving eleven-year-old who cares way too much about the opinion of Becca Browne, a loudmouth classmate and royal pain in Emma's butt. Emma blames her dad for the misery she endures at school AND general ruining of her life. To cope, she confides her troubles to Shimmar, a pine cone elf that she crafted at school and sprinkled with magic dust. So when catastrophe strikes (big time), and painful decisions must be made, was it simple coincidence or Shimmar's magic dust when elf and human worlds collide with extraordinary and shocking consequences - or perhaps a combination of both? The Magic of Shimmar is an exciting modern-day story, subtly built on themes of family pressures, the gaining of values and the power of friendship and family. For ages 7 to 97.
