Early Reviews:
“The Namer of Spirits is what readers want and the world needs.” —New York Times bestselling author Eliot Schrefer
“Simply spellbinding. Teachers and librarians who are searching for well-written fiction to pair with environmental non-fiction need to snap this one up! Highly recommended.” —Darby Karchut, author of Del Toro Moon
“Absorbing, masterfully crafted, and brilliantly original, The Namer of Spirits is an illuminating story about friendship, courage, and the power of words.” —Jenny Goebel, Green Earth Book Award-winning author of Out of My Shell
“A luminous and essential story for all ages. Everyone should read this.” —Laura Resau, Américas Award-winning author of Tree of Dreams
In the frontier village of Last Hope, people dismiss twelve-year-old Ash Narro as a flighty child who claims to hear the true names of things. But when enraged forest spirits attack, Ash shows that the names she hears have power. After taming a destructive forest spirit, Ash embarks on a wild journey to save her village. In this steampunk eco-fantasy, the perils of deforestation and the power of friendship are explored through a fantastical adventure involving giant mistcats, tempestuous forest spirits, a supernatural puppy, and a girl with a special gift for shaping what things become.
More on this book and why I wrote it:
Fantasy gives us a vital way to understand our reality. And stories that speak to us shape the ways we think and act. It’s my hope that those who journey into the cloud forest with Ash and Fen will not only enjoy a thrilling story, they’ll gain a greater understanding of what’s causing rainforest destruction in our world and how to stop it.
Enjoy the adventure!
