by Eric G. Mueller (Author)
Ever wonder about the living beings driving wild, untamable fires in the West? Here is a tale that makes pictures of all the powerful beings moving such natural events forward! These are essential pictures to draw us close to nature in a different way from our ordinary thinking. The children who helped the elemental world to clean the water and release the water sprites from the Binagatorials in The Invisible Boat I are called upon once more in this tale of suspense and adventure to help our living earth to tame the Molten Fire Dragon. Using their invisible boat, a gift from the beings of the planet and their grandfather, they navigate to the place of most need on the earth - the center of the raging fires in the West. The gnomes of earth show themselves only to those they can trust, not to dismiss them as imaginary. Haven't you read the first in this series? Have no fear! This plot stands independently and takes young and old through imagination beyond imagining. This book will make you wish to read the first, however! This wonder-filled tale helps us all - youngsters in particular - to understand the earth as a living organism needing all our forces to find balance and cooperation. The book is for good readers from grade four to adults and is an excellent read-aloud story for children seven years and older.
