Ella and the Enchanted Forest Kathryn Millar

"Every wild imagining Ella had ever had about creatures and beasts from other worlds was becoming very real to her in this moment. "Am I dreaming?" She thought to herself as she tried to imagine explaining this to her parents." When thirteen-year-old Ella sees all the woodland animals fleeing from Ferraway forest, she has no idea what she is about to stumble upon. Nothing strange or startling ever happens in the sleepy village of Lambsdale where she lives. Fuelled by her insatiable curiosity, and eager to help her woodland friends retrieve their home, she embarks on a dark and mysterious journey into the forest where she stumbles upon a creature unlike anything she has even seen before. Dralf is a Wolgan. Sad, lonely, and far from his home, he is terrified of humans until Ella and her friends offer their help and friendship. Faced with threats from high school bullies and a professor with a dark secret and an evil agenda, Ella and her friends race against the clock to help Dralf get back home safely before it's too late. Packed full of mystery, adventure, and friendship, Ella and the Enchanted Forest is a story of love, hope, and courage. A heart-warming read for all the family, with beautiful descriptions that capture the imagination, this is a perfect tale to curl up with on a cold, winter's night.
