January 8, 2020What a wonderful read. I kept reading and reading and did not want to put it down. Well written in explicate detail, wonderful for the imagination to dive into. It felt so real, the colours, textures, sounds and smells, easy to connect, ignite my sense of wonder and curiosity.
Jake reminds me of me, for those who seek to be their own authentic self, beyond others expectations. Who lives from the heart regardless. SO when Jakes goes on adventure to find the secret super power snowdrop flower. Turns out Jakes' adventure helps him connect to a deeper aspect of himself. The things he learns along his way, the friends he makes, he trusts in these connections, this gives him some incredible lessons we can all take onboard. What a fun filled, truly inspiring and magically written story. This is not just for children, I feel everyone will benefit from this book.
The tale the stones bring come together in an unexpected way, more beautiful than you can know.
It sends a very powerful and empowering message for us all. Thank you Hanit, I will remember the messages in this beautiful book and continue to be inspired. It is a must read!

What more could you want in a great book to read to your children?
Magic, crystals and animal wisdom! This is the intriguing story of Jake, who is an elf with family challenges caused by his need to be true to himself. Travel with him as he bravely takes on the adventures that a true conscience will always attract. There are some difficult words that come up, which I found to be an added bonus that will help expand any child’s literary horizons. The author extends the book far beyond just the story. She gives us information about crystals and their ancient power for good, and a very interesting guide to special animals. This isn’t voodoo, it’s centuries-old wisdom - and you and your child will love it.

A classic in the making
Hanit has done what few can write a fictional story that will help many a young person realize what they are searching for they already have. A story of Jake who with the help of five stones finds love is the answer! Which in the end, love is the most important thing in life. Truly a great well written story with great art work destine to become a classic! I highly recommend it!

A 2hr long audio book. This book was both good and bad in my opinion. I did enjoy it but I felt like it was either too short and needed more explaining of the journey, and more importantly the start of the story with out giving spoilers away, the main characters problems are never really figured or sorted out. There was no ending to this story... Im thinking that what the author wanted but if thats the case, i did not enjoy that idea.

In theory, I’m ok with a new age adventure tale and a magic crystal quest, but this book, picked by my 7 year old from the freebie selections on Audible, had very little adventure, even less dialogue, and a whole lot of preaching. The only reason we finished it was because it was just under 2 hours, and we were in the car for the same length of time.
