Synopsis
Meet Emma Wheaton, an elf-loving eleven-year-old who cares way too much about the opinion of Becca Browne, a rich, loud-mouth classmate and royal pain in Emma's butt. Emma blames her dad for the misery she endures at school and general ruining of her life. To cope, she confides her troubles to Shimmar, a pine cone elf decoration that she crafted at school and sprinkled with magic dust. Meet Flyson, an elf monitor who has been tracking Emma's unsavoury behaviour via his highly versatile smart device. Like Emma, Flyson must face a crisis of his own when a group of angry elves suddenly wreak havoc in his village, which will bring a terrible aftermath that will affect the lives of many. So when heart-wrenching decisions must be made, was it pure coincidence or Shimmar's magic when elf and human world's collide with extraordinary and shocking consequences - or perhaps a combination of both? Only YOU can judge The Magic of Shimmar The Magic of Shimmar is an exciting realistic-fantasy, subtly built on themes of modern-day family pressures, acceptance, the gaining of values and the power of faith, friendship and family.
