The concept for the story is unique but at the same time infuses an important lesson about Mother Nature and carrying for her. As the environment is changing with global warming; it is very important that we care for the planet while we are living. The girls Maia, Faclon, Ava, and Yue represent the four elements... water, earth, fire, and air. There is a spiritual vibe to the tone of the story that is nice. It does play nicely into the story. While, I did like this book; I did find a disconnect with story and the girls. For some reason, I struggled to make a strong emotional connection with the girls. Thus in turn I was reading the words on the pages but they were not resonating with me all the time. This is the type of book that young readers could read. It is age appropriate. no reviews | add a review

The concept is unique and has an important lesson about caring for the environment. This really isn't a book I would read. However, The different POVs were very jarring and the end of each one was an abrupt end. I did struggle through some parts of this book and it is definitely not a book where you don't have to focus too much. I found myself having to focus a lot and even then still getting confused. I struggled to be emotionally invested and connected with these girls as well as the story. I had felt connected to the story at the start but it fell through. It was hard to tell which girl was telling the POV and I didn't really care since they felt two dimensional and unreal.
I did however like how native American culture was touched upon as well as the environment. ( )
