IT’S HARD FOR Elissa to comprehend everything that has happened to her. In Elissa’s Quest, she discovered the truth about her father, and she and her new friend, Maya, just barely escaped a madman’s clutches. And Elissa’s Gift is not only growing in power . . . it’s changing. Elissa could always speak to animals, but now she’s able to control other things in the natural world. But when Elissa becomes separated from her friend and her faithful donkey, she embarks on a perilous voyage that introduces her to others who have special Gifts, too. It’s almost as if an unseen hand is guiding her to the pieces of the prophecy . . . the Prophecy of the Phoenix. The climax is building! In Book 2 of the Phoenix Rising trilogy, Erica Verrillo manages to make us laugh while falling even more deeply in love with a fabulous, strong, girl coming of age.

      Gr 5-8-Having escaped from the Khan and traveled across the desert, Elissa continues her journey to be reunited with her father. She and her friend Maya arrive in the strange city of Alhamazar and board a ship bound for Gravesport. However, when Elissa sneaks ashore, she becomes lost in the marketplace and is left behind. Rescued by a kindhearted sailor, she is promised safe passage and a job as cook aboard the ramshackle "Swamp Maiden". Along the way, Elissa and the crew help a mysterious young noble displaced from his country, elude gun smugglers, outrun a dangerous one-eyed man, and free a captive Windsinger (who can raise the wind with her voice). Throughout, Elissa feels her magical abilities growing: she can now communicate with plants as well as animals and uses this newfound knowledge to help her friends. The ending sets up the sequel nicely. This adventure story is filled with humor, endearing characters, and mild fantasy elements. However, children unfamiliar with "Elissa's Quest" (Delcoarte, 2007) will want to read it first in order to better understand the characters."Ginny Collier, Dekalb County Public Library, Decatur, GA"

      After being separated from Maya and Gertrude the talking donkey, Elissa (Elissa's Quest) finds herself aboard The Swamp Maiden with its disreputable crew. A new set of amiable, if static, characters accompanies Elissa on her journey to understand her magical gift and find her father. A cliffhanger ending sets up the last book in the trilogy.
