This was a story that quickly pulled you into the world of gnomes, elves, fairies and adventure. Your mind will delight in the experience of invisioning all these characters as you start to feel that you're right there with them. I would definitely recommend this to any teacher who wants to compliment the creative minds of her students!! Adults, teens and the young will enjoy this.

My class loved this book ! I found Ken Ramirez's excellent descriptions, strong characters, and action filled plot, made The Gift of the Ancient Grove an ideal class read aloud. Naida is a truly stong female protagonist that displays compassion and wisdom. Randin gives a comic element, while Lady Celina is a villan for all to hate. I found all three books of the Naida's Quest Trilogy delightful page turners. I highly recommend this book as a begining to an epic tale.

Gift of the Ancient Grove is a wonderful story, full of strong, interesting characters. In this book, we are introduced to the world of trolls, elves, gnomes, and sprites, told through the adventure of Naida and her friend Randin. This world, and the young gnomes adventure will capture the imagination of all childern. Naida and Randin set out on their unusual quest and encounter a wide variety of creatures. The character description leaves the reader feeling as though they can actually see, hear and smell the elves and their environments.
This book is perfect for 8 to 12 year old readers. The language is age appropriate and descriptive. The characters are not trying to be teenagers before their time, a quality lacking in many childrens books today. However, this book is very fun to read for teens and adults as well.
