Zara the Protector was written in conjunction with Uncle Is.

Here’s some introduction from Is:

“I have been working on my Caveman Chronicles storyline for a few years. For me, this story has been merely an outlet for often goofy ideas. The blog-story format is an easy way to sit down without a huge amount of preparation or thought and pound a few related ideas onto a keyboard. It scratches an itch and keeps the mind on writing.

As are most humans, I am a member of a family, and we talk about the stuff we’re doing, what we’re thinking about, what we’re writing. It’s amazing to be a part of such a group of interesting and imaginative people. I am fortunate to have writers and artists in my family, and those conversations led to this book.”

Lost in a world of fantasy, and legend, gnomes are often regarded as fairy tales. This field guide is proof of the many wonders of the small world of gnomes. These two-inch tall people, with their magical pointy caps, are more than just tiny humans. They are faster, nimbler, and more intelligent than ourselves. Join the researcher as they uncover gnome folklore, habits, cuisine, and more. You’ll find the secret world of gnomes to be rich with variety and magical whimsy.

A Field Guide to Gnomes is the result of a homeschool summer project. “You need to be productive,” Mom and Dad would announce right before summer break, and 12-year-old Arwen chose to write and illustrate a little book on one of her favorite topics, Gnomes.  Hope you enjoy!
