SynopsisA chilling fantasy based on Cherokee myth It's been weeks since Adanta's sick father left on a quest to find the healing lake mentioned in the lore of the Cherokee. Since then a visitor has arrived, a man Adanta doesn't like - James, or, as she's styled him, the Lean One. One day, after witnessing him make a frightening incantation, Adanta finds that her mother has fallen under the Lean One's spell, and she is lured away from the cottage. Left alone in a remote area of the Smoky Mountains, Adanta has no choice but to venture forth into the wilderness, in the hope of finding both her parents. To accomplish this, she must journey to Adantis, the secret home of the Hidden People deep in the mountains. On her quest, Adanta finds many friends, but she also encounters untold dangers, including the threat of the Raven Mockers - humans who take the form of birds and steal the remaining life from those who are hurt or ill. To protect herself, and potentially save her mother and be reunited with her father, will require all the strength and courage she can muster., Based on Cherokee myth, this chilling fantasy set in the Smoky Mountains tells of a young girl's search for her missing parents. On her way, she must avoid the Raven Mockers, humans who take the form of birds and steal the remaining life from the sick and injured. Accelerated Reader: Reading Level 6.3, 9 Points.
