Elizabeth and the Secret of the Water of Life
by Peter Goljiski
Description
Narnia meets Hobbit in a fantasy adventure inspired by Bulgarian and Slavic myths, folklore and history.
Fate always gives you a way out once it has decided to put you to the test.
Elizabeth is a girl like everyone else: she goes to school, she likes playing with friends and her favorite color is pink. What she really aspires to is to become famous for her videos, which she is going to make for her future YouTube channel (in case her father gave her his phone and allowed her to start a channel, of course!). As you can guess, she is not always obedient - a very ordinary nine-year-old girl.
However, one night everything changes. The Light Mistress comes to Betty and reveals to her that her mother is ill. To save her, the girl must embark on a dangerous journey through unfamiliar lands in search of Living Water. Only it has the power to help her dying mother. Betty sets off. On her way she comes across both faithful friends and evil beings (which we believe that exist only in fairy tales), she has to overcome a number of obstacles, and is often supported by unexpected allies.
Will she be able to achieve her goal? Well, you can find the answer to this question by yourself!
