Finding Footprints is a children's fantasy adventure by Erik Daniel Shein, Melissa Davis, and Karen Fuller. Twelve-year-old Lily Evergreen loves the magical woods of the Pacific Northwest. Lily was born unable to hear, yet she derives great pleasure in soaking up the stories told by her Grandma Cheyenne. While exploring the nearby woods with her Labrador service dog Malachi, Lily stumbles upon a magical portal that transports her to a mystical realm. There she meets Winston -- a young Bigfoot about to embark on a quest to become the Guardian of the forest. Lily and Malachi join Winston on his journey, but now they must pass three trials to complete the rite of passage. Along the way, Lily realizes her deep connection to nature and discovers her destiny.
Whimsical and wondrous, Finding Footprints is the perfect book for children and teen fantasy fans. Authors Erik Daniel Shein, Melissa Davis, and Karen Fuller transport young readers to a fantastical world that is not only immersive but also fascinating to read about. The descriptive worldbuilding makes your imagination run wild, and you can almost picture the setting in your head. The heartwarming friendship between Lily and Winston is the anchor of the narrative. Both characters are well-developed, and their genuine interactions tug at your heartstrings. I also enjoyed the brief yet impactful scenes featuring Grandma Cheyenne. This story also has a beautiful message about friendship and compassion toward nature and all living beings. In conclusion, a fantastic book for readers who enjoy portal fantasy and adventure tales. Highly recommended.
