Aria's Adventures

Aria, a young red headed girl, has been content to wander the forest, talking with the animals and enjoying her life. But this week she needs to focus and finally choose a Guardian (that is, her very own animal companion). The problem is that Aria cannot decide on one! For the first time, Aria must travel the forest by herself to find one. Armed with only her compassion, her adventurous heart, and perhaps a few other supernatural abilities, she must face the dangers of the world, gain a Guardian, and return home in time for her village's Guardian ceremony.

Aria, a young red headed girl, having powers of empathy and connection, can talk with the animals and even heal people. Last time she found herself a Guardian (that is, her very own animal companion). This times she goes on her first adventure with her new friends. But when Aria's friend Mar becomes bitter towards someone, Aria encourages him to face his fears and go to the island where everything went wrong - the Forbidden Isle. On the journey they meet unexpected allies. Then Mar and Aria are forced to cooperate with those they don't trust. The Forbidden Isle is the second chapter book in the Aria's Adventures fantasy book series. It explores wholesome themes such as reverence, the sacred, facing your fears, empathizing and working with others, and finding good friends. It is a cute, adventurous story to be enjoyed by both parents and children alike.
