About SONG OF THE OCARINA, book 1, Delfaerune Rhapsody series:

Desperate to understand her place in the world, teenage musical prodigy Lark Tūrehu unwittingly follows her handsome music teacher Noel Stone into the parallel realm of Delfaerune. With her extreme height and long, silver-white hair, she already considers herself a freak in her Queenstown, New Zealand university, so how can she possibly deal with the added burden of her role as the Noble Fae's leading musical spell caster? Not only must she retrieve and master the Kura Ocarina to earn the title of the realm's "Maestra," but the faefolk expect her to use the ancient wind instrument to save the human race from extinction at the hands of the Dark Fae.

 In Delfaerune, you'll discover a lush world where music joins with Earth energy to conjure balance among all creatures, “extinct” and mythical creatures talk and live peacefully, and the Dark Fae pattern themselves after burned-out human rock stars.

ABOUT ENCHANTED FAERIE PORTALS COLORING & CREATIVE WRITING PAGES

Use this book to draw, write, and imagine ways to create your very own faerie magic! It offers fifteen, 5"x7.5" enchanted faerie portal drawings, with Faerie's Tale writing prompts, by Ann Narcisian Videan.

Each faerie's portal hides Akiiki, a tiny kiwi “familiar” who accompanies Lark—the New Zealand teen heroine in all of Ann’s Delfaerune Rhapsody books. Lark appears in many of our faerie's tales, too. After all, her story served as the inspiration for all of this.

Absolutely Wild! supports emerging young writers, partly through this book.
