eBook Summary: 149 Pages -- Enchanta is the companion book to Pot of Gold. It is written for children eight to thirteen years of age. In Enchanta, David (age 14) and Barbara (age 12) Morgan are flown from their New Jersey home to Enchanta by Wings, a white flying horse. In Enchanta, Barbara and David must unite three magical brothers Changer, Pretender and Inventor with their wizard father, King Wisher. The king had lost his wishing power when an earthquake opened up the land and Beneathians, a barbaric tribe, came from inside the earth to raid Enchanta. The Beneathians captured Wisher's wife, Queen Hope and took her to their world beneath the earth. Barbara and David reunite Wisher with Changer, Pretender and Inventor, and the six conduct a daring raid into Beneatha. The magical brothers perform many funny pranks and tricks on the Beneathians. In the end, Queen Hope is rescued, Wisher regains his powers, and Barbara and David are magically returned to their home in New Jersey. Review: When David and Barbara Morgan climb onto the back of a magical flying horse, their adventure begins. The curious children ask the white, winged creature if its name is Pegasus, like the brave winged stallion that helped many mythological creatures defeat their aggressors, but the horse tells them that he is called, Wings. He was sent to find help by Master Wisher, who had lost his wishing powers due to an earthquake. Wings whisk the kids to a land called Enchanta. There they are asked to help save the land from total destruction. When the Beneathians see that Master Wisher is unable to work his powerful wishes, they come up from the center of the earth and overtake his land, and then they kidnap his wife, Queen Hope. Without his Queen, King Wisher is unable to gain the self-belief he needs in order to work his wishing abilities to their highest power. After finding the King and Queen's three sons, Changer, Pretender, and Inventor, they all gather the courage and strength to rescue Queen Hope from the Beneathians. Join David and Barbara on their adventure to Beneathia. Will they find Queen Hope? Do they rescue her? In this fantastic fantasy story for children, you will meet some pretty strange animals and outlandish creatures. One of which is a curious lion, a shaggy-haired barbarian, a friendly ram, and an annoying babbling brook. Jay Dubya is the writing name of John Wiessner, an extremely talented children's author. Mr. Dubya is a retired English teacher after teaching in public schools for thirty-four years, which is quite an accomplishment. He is married to Joanne and has three grown sons. Jay Dubya lives in Hammonton, New Jersey. He is a multi-published author in several different genres. ENCHANTA is the first book in the young adult fantasy novel, the other two titles are: POT OF GOLD, and SPACE BUGS: EARTH INVASION. As an author, mother of three children, and a children's book reviewer, I highly recommend the works of Jay Dubya. Stars out of 5: 5 --Reviewed by Jennifer LB Leese, www.geocities.com/ladyjiraff/writers.html
