Legend Keepers: The Chosen One

“Now listen carefully to me,” Roark said. “Long ago a Great Warming descended on our home. It brought hardship to the land, for goats and ravens and other living things. That’s when the Legend of Shining Mountain was born.”On a cliff at the roof of the world, a wizardly raven rescues an orphaned mountain goat from death’s doorstep. As she searches for her mom, Buddy discovers her astonishing power to talk not only with Roark, the raven, but with other animals she meets. Her search soon becomes a journey—her very destiny—to save her mom’s band of goats from a great peril foretold in an ancient legend. This is a story of hope, perseverance, friendships, and finding one’s purpose, with a subtext of climate change’s effects on the alpine environment.Winner of 2 silver medals in the Feather Quill Book Awards.
