The Ellie Adventures Book One

Ellie's recent troubles threaten to crush her. When self-doubt and heightened emotions over-come her, she does something she regrets, but learns who and what she can turn to make her feel good again. All four of the Ellie Adventures are set on the fictional island of Descendora, where Ellie lives with her Uncle Dutch and a few furry and feathered friends. The island could be anywhere in the world, but it most closely resembles Scotland. This is the first of four Ellie Adventures, richly illustrated chapter books for young readers, in which there are comforting reminders about love and friendship, and discovering what it means to "have all you need". The final section of the book "Over to You" is designed for children to open up about their own troubles, inspiring them through leading questions (and giving space to answer them) to reflect on their own resources and build resilience.
