Elementalists, the recently evolved species capable of controlling and wielding elements such as light, fire, and water. For years they struggled to find peace in a world that was scared of them. But that all changed when one great man united the two groups. The Hero of Light. A hero that everyone could believe in. But for 16-year-old Minisc, that could not be further from the truth. As the son of the Hero of Light, he has displayed flashes of the power that made his father an idol, yet he has never shown interest in developing those talents. All he wants is to live a quiet life in peace. However, when he starts Elemental Academy, he begins to learn just what sort of world his father was protecting. Alongside his friends Lily and Jules, Minisc must grow into the powers he's long shunned, or risk the peaceful society he's dreamed of, being shattered.
This Young Adult book has the best of the genre; great characters, action-packed plot, lots of twists. But it also offers two unexpected additional elements (pardon the pun on the title). The main character has his share of doubts and insecurities that readers can identify with, rather than being "the fearless hero". Secondly, it has the main character grapple with complex dilemmas and decisions based on finding his true values.Parents and teachers can confidently recommend this to their young folk as an exciting book to read that has some substance and is worthy of discussion afterwards. And it's just a great fun read for all ages.Dr. Heather McLean, C. Psych (Psychologist)
