Starlight and the Elf Stone

By Paul Wayne White

"You have to understand some things about fairies if you want to see one," said Charles to his younger sister, Tali. "First, Starlight is not a tooth fairy. She is just a fairy." Tali has always dreamed of meeting her tooth fairy, Starlight, longing for the day when she would finally catch a glimpse of the elusive figure. But when Starlight reveals herself, it's not for the simple magic of a childhood wish. Instead, Starlight brings a dire warning. To escape danger, Tali must become a part of the very fairy world she has only dreamed of. Protected by Starlight, Tali finds herself at the center of a magical conflict. An evil elf, driven by dark intentions, wants the legendary Elf Stone for himself, and a wicked fairy queen threatens to steal its powerful magic. With the guidance of Starlight and her protective older brother Charles, Tali must navigate the perilous fairy realms, unravel family secrets, and confront her own fears. Set against a backdrop of dazzling fairy villages and shadowy elf tunnels, this enchanting story is brought to life with Paul Wayne White's masterful storytelling and Zuzana Randáková's stunning illustrations. Readers will journey alongside Tali as she faces battles and dilemmas with courage and intelligence, discovering the true meaning of bravery and family. Filled with a rich tapestry of magical creatures, epic battles, and heartfelt moments, Starlight and the Elf Stone is a thrilling adventure that will capture the imaginations of young readers and leave them eagerly awaiting more.

"A breathtaking early middle grade fantasy in the world of fairies and elves. [ . . . ] Prepare to be transported to a delightful fantasy world. You will relish the adventure and marvel at the magic in the wonderfully imaginative story." - Lisa Parker Hayreh, PhD, Independent Review of Books (5 Stars) "Starlight and the Elf Stone is a fantasy adventure for kids and young adults. Paul Wayne White's fascinating and fantastical ride is an absolute delight, providing you with a sense of wonder and awe as only fairy tales can. Featuring fairy princesses, mischievous elves, and a healthy dose of magic, the narrative keeps you engaged all the way through with a mix of humor, action, and drama that you can't get enough of. [ . . . ] And whether you're a parent or a child, if you like fantasy stories, you will love this one!" - Pikasho Deka, Readers' Favorite "White's daughter declared that his made-up stories were better than her books. So, he put them to print in this fabulous young reader chapter book. The author creates somewhat of a short Peter Pan story in that adventures never end when the children go to sleep, and the plot of good conquers bad is satisfying and comforting for kids. [ . . . ] A strong female character is always a positive in a kid's book, too. Tali, the protagonist, is both vulnerable and strong. Repeatedly, the author paints her as a can-do character: 'In spite of her fear, she stood up and continued on.' Tali is kind, brave, loyal, and caring. She is both a little girl and a fairy. Half Tinker Bell, half Wendy, she is a perfectly adorable and perfectly crafted character. Fans can only hope that there be a sequel with more adventures starring the fiery Tali." - Toby Berry, US Review of Books
