Publisher Comments:

Enter a world of ancient magic

When his father is called to active duty in Vietnam, Cory Alder is sent to spend the summer with his adopted Native American uncle, Jasper. Accustomed to life in the city, Cory finds the reality of the ranch scary--every shadow is full of menace. But when an encounter with a medicine man catapults Cory into a world of Native American legend, conquering his fears becomes a matter of survival. Transformed into a beaver called Yellow Shell, Cory is now part of a war between the People, animals whose intelligence equals that of humans. In order to return home, Cory must help Yellow Shell and his allies defeat the Changer, who is attempting to enslave the People in this world--and in Cory's world as well. With two worlds hanging in the balance, Cory will have to use every ounce of courage and animal instinct within him to defeat this enemy . . .

Synopsis:

When he began his summer of adventure on a Western ranch in Idaho, Cory Alder stepped into a world far beyond his wildest expectations. Stumbling into a desert cave, he is plunged into a world more mysterious and frightening than he has ever known — a world of mythical, furry animals in which he is himself transformed into the creature Yellow Shell.

In Fur Magic Andre Norton has woven a breathtaking tale of courage, mystery, and magic — Alicia Austin has captured the fantasy in ten extraordinary full-color and forty black & white illustrations and spots. Together, Norton and Austin blaze with the power of Indian magic! Theirs is a story to share...and share again.
