Great story, but the premise of kids building "forest giants" is too implausible for a story written in a relatively realistic vein. Still, 3½*** and would be higher if the final battle scene were more plausibly constructed. ( ) My review of this book can be found on my Youtube Vlog at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4bWah2Hf62w Enjoy! Living in nature and building community all while struggling with loss. Dave Matthews is not only an ah-mazing musical artist, but Kirra’s story is weaved together bringing readers into a Storyteller’s world. Children and adults will devour this book! Must read and excellent addition for my classroom library soon! Thank you, NetGalley for the ARC! I am excited for readers to experience this adventure! Story with a strong message about acceptance, family, community and finding the courage to stand together for something you believe is important. Kirra lives in a secret community inside a volcano. When the Takers come and destroy her home, Kirra seeks shelter with the Tree People. Viewed as an outsider but accepted by her new community, she must face her past when the Takers threaten to destroy her new home. This was a great YA novel that was short, easy to read and teaches us about the importance of coming together to protect our homes. Thank you to Netgalley for providing an e-galley. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

By world-renowned musician, environmentalist, and humanitarian Dave Matthews, an exciting and poignant fantasy set in wondrous natural environments about a girl who must summon the courage to face her own mistakes before she can help save her peaceful community from a gigantic threat. Kirra, a curious, agile, and outgoing girl, lives in an idyllic community hidden inside a dormant volcano. She and her father are the only two people allowed to venture beyond its walls. Kirra is in training to become a Storyteller like him, and together they travel from village to village spreading fearsome tales designed to keep outsiders away from their secret nest. One day, after hearing rumors of strangers called the "Takers," Kirra leaves the volcano by herself, hoping to discover her own story. But she unknowingly leads the Takers back to her doorstep, and they rob her of everything she has ever held dear. A devastated Kirra is found by a boy named Luwan and adopted into his family, which lives among others high in the trees of a dense forest. Now quiet and withdrawn, Kirra hides her dark past from everyone and never wants to leave the safety of her tree dwelling. Luwan, on the other hand, loves to explore. One day it leads to trouble: He is captured while spying on a group of strangers. The Takers have returned. To save the Tree Folk, Kirra must face her inner demons and summon all her storytelling to weave the most important tale of her life. This compelling novel about overcoming loss, embracing community, and living in harmony with nature is highlighted with a full-color insert of concept artwork, making it perfect for family sharing.
