Elana, a member of an interstellar civilization on a mission to a medieval planet, becomes the key to a dangerous plan to turn back an invasion. How can she help the Andrecians, who still believe in magic and superstition, without revealing her own alien powers? At the same time, Georyn, the son of an Andrecian woodcutter, knows only that there is a dragon in the enchanted forest, and he must defeat it. He sees Elana as the Enchantress from the Stars who has come to test him, to prove he is worthy. One of the few science fiction books to win a Newbery Honor, this novel will enthrall teenage and adult readers.
Light, fun, and very well written
This book is a surprising gem.
The one line review that I've been passing on to friends is "This is what Ursula K. Le Guin would write, if she did something light."
On the surface, it's light but well-written storylines woven together in a sci-fi/fantasy twist.
But the book forces you to shift perspective, to move between different points of view, and to think.
I picked it up because I figured anything that got a Newberry Honor medal was probably worth reading, and I wasn't disappointed.
