This book was published by Thomas Nelson and won the Moonbeam Children's Book Award.
The story reminded me a lot about Narnia. In place of Narnia, we have Allyra where we find elves, spiders, wisps, Gwar warriors, and other creatures. Eight hundred elves' years ago, seven infant elves born from the blood lines of Over Lords were sent to earth as orphans. At their coming of age, 13, they begun to display their exceptional abilities. While the elf sentinels tried to smuggle them back to Allyra, the dark forces were trying to kill them.
What I really like about the story is reading how each of these Over Lords deal with their extraordinary powers and all the upheavals that forced them to leave their homes and adoptive parents behind. While it is a purely fictional account, it is interesting to find each thirteen year old has a different situation whether in school or at home.
