Synopsis
On a cliff at the roof of the world, a mysterious raven named Roark rescues an orphaned mountain goat from death’s doorstep. She discovers her astonishing power to talk not only with the raven, but with other animals she meets while searching for her mom. 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 story of hope, perseverance, and finding one’s purpose—with a subtext of climate change’s effects on the alpine environment—will leave a lasting impression on every reader. “Now listen carefully to me,” Roark said. “Long ago a great peril 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.”
My Review
I loved this children's chapter book so much. The story was so heartwarming but also about loss, overcoming problems and having the confidence to solve them. Also knowing where you fit into the pecking order of life. I started reading this book with my 9 year old daughter taking it in turns to read but she didn't seem to warm to it as it didn't contain horses or history. So I was loving it that much I had to finish it myself it was truly magical and cast a wonderful spell of action and adventure and love for each other. This book is brilliant for those who can confidently read chapter books or those just moving onto chapter books with the support of an adult as some of the names a quite unique. It contained a few pictures aswell that were so beautiful. I thought it was so much fun a brilliant adventure story through the eyes of a very special mountain goat with a very special gift to be able to talk to there animals. Its a brilliant coming of age novel and finding your own place within society and how working together you can over come your problems. These morals are so important for children of 7 to 11. I thought it was clever that these morals were taught through nature and it helps children give great respect to life and to nature in turn. Thank you so much to the author and publishing team for bringing us this delightful book to help us learn how to become better people both to nature and to each other. I look forward to reading the next book in this series. And to reading more by this brilliant author.
