About the Author
Patrick Carman makes his home in the wilderness of eastern Washington and insists that it is a rather ordinary home and is not, in fact, surrounded by stone walls. He divides his time between writing, public speaking, spending time with his wife and two daughters, reading, fly fishing, para-gliding, and snowboarding. Before writing his first novel, Carman helped to create board games, websites, a mentoring program, and a radio music show.

From AudioFile
The fifth book in the Land of Elon series starts with intrepid 12-year-old Alexa Daley aboard a ship that a sea monster is about to attack. Soon she finds herself without her companions, her uncle Roland and the comic Yipes, in a land that sits on five mysterious stone pillars. Ellen Archer's overall narrative voice is calm and low, and her portrayal of Alexa is dramatic and believably youthful. As Alexa, Archer depicts the fun of "skimming" down pillars, the joy of finding Yipes, and the pleasure of making new friends. Archer's more reflective narrative voice registers Alexa's sorrow at Roland's drowning, her fear of a lurking evil that she knows she must defeat, and her sense of responsibility for many people.
