Publisher's Synopsis
Emma is an elf-loving eleven-year-old who worries too much about what her braggy classmate thinks. To cope, she confides her troubles to Shimmar, a pine cone elf that she crafted at school and sprinkled with magic dust. So when catastrophe strikes and painful decisions must be made, was it coincidence or Shimmar's magic dust when elf and human worlds collide with extraordinary and shocking consequences - or perhaps a combination of both? The Magic of Shimmar is an feel-good modern-day story, subtly built on themes of family pressures, the gaining of values and the power of family. A wonderful family read (Reading level 8+).
