The Exciting Exploits of an Effervescent Elf

by Trisha Sugarek

Emma is held captive in Patsy, the banana spider’s web. No one can see her except the irrepressible elf, Cheets. Everyone in the forest has been searching for Emma to no avail and given his reputation, no one believes Cheets when he claims to have found her. Cheets can see Emma but not hear her so they must “act out” vital news concerning the enchanted forest. Hazard, the Lord of the Underworld is selling the forest to developers. Emma must not stand in his way! This fable contains greed, ecology, friendship, enduring love and justice.

Most of the characters from the first book of the Enchanted Forest return to this new fable. Thomas, the sea turtle, pedantic but loveable. Laughter erupts when the reader realizes that he speaks only in nautical expressions. Stare, the rhetorical owl. The Queen of the Faeries and her handmaidens keep everyone in order. Everyone who reads this book will love greedy, little Patsy, the spider. Rose, Emma’s mother emphasizes maternal devotion and the ability to "believe" when the magical creatures of the forest reveal themselves to her. Hazard, Lord of the Underworld reunites with a lost love. And of course, Cheets is, finally, a hero!
