Well, the basic log line is this:<br /><br />A young girl[KAYLA] finds a charm that turns out to be the key to restoring power for a secret civilization of creatures-animals.<br /><br />This civilization is presently divided. The dynamic here is "Good versus bad in the form of mammals vs. reptiles" with 'water' being the reason for this division.<br />The dilemma of this story is based on an 'eco-theme' of water conservation. Which I believe has an appeal factor with publishers looking to publish books focusing on resource awareness.<br /><br />Water has become a precious commodity throughout the land, and power is dictated by those who have it.<br /><br />The moment [Kayla] enters this kingdom, it becomes a race against time to solve the mystery between the charm[SPELL STONES] and the land[FLUVEA]. With the help of her brother, and a colorful band of rebel crusaders they meet along the way, it’s up to [KAYLA] to rescue an imprisoned wizard and put together a plan that will turn the tide on the evil lizard king and his formidable army.<br /><br />In the process, she discovers her inner strength and maturity, while gaining the courage needed to fight this evil empire.<br />This clever adventure story is about confidence, understanding our own resources, and the power within all children to overcome obstacles. By mixing vivid images with clever pacing, I am able to build action-filled drama around every corner of this non-stop adventure.<br /><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_HNqGSBtuzGQ/R_aHmDalxDI/AAAAAAAAABc/fJGhM_8EBkI/s1600-h/Scatha_Alberich.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_HNqGSBtuzGQ/R_aHmDalxDI/AAAAAAAAABc/fJGhM_8EBkI/s320/Scatha_Alberich.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5185481108785316914" border="0" /></a><br /></div><br /><br />Two characters of importance in the story.<br />The evil lizard king....<span style="font-style: italic;">Scatha</span><br />And the wizard...<span style="font-style: italic;">Alberich</span><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6755323614434496864-6788310915619449682?l=jbsunking.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Bodiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06469363260365416967noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6755323614434496864.post-30504092317407831212008-04-04T12:14:00.001-07:002008-04-04T12:21:59.152-07:00<div style="text-align: left;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_HNqGSBtuzGQ/R_Z_LjalxBI/AAAAAAAAABM/2VHaAZVeNPo/s1600-h/Scatha_Alberich.jpg"><span style="font-size:100%;"><span style="font-family: verdana;
