Rediscover this beloved Newbery Honor-winning classic, Featuring a brand-new cover and a foreword by Lois Lowry!

Elana, a member of an interstellar civilization on a mission to a medieval planet, becomes the key to a dangerous plan to turn back an invasion. How can she help the Andrecians, who still believe in magic and superstition, without revealing her own alien powers? At the same time, Georyn, the son of an Andrecian woodcutter, knows only that there is a dragon in the enchanted forest, and he must defeat it. He sees Elana as the Enchantress from the Stars who has come to test him, to prove he is worthy.

One of the few science fiction books to win a Newbery Honor, this novel continues to enthrall readers of all ages.

From the Author:

Be sure to read the FAQ page for this book at my website, where you'll also find my recent essay for adult readers, "Reflections on Enchantress from the Stars." These contain comments on things in the story that have been confusing to some readers. And please note that although there is a second book about Elana, The Far Side of Evil, it is not a "sequel" but a very different kind of story that's not appropriate for readers below high school age.

About the Author:

Sylvia Engdahl is the author of ten science fiction novels, including six Young Adult novels and four for adults, and has published a nonfiction book, The Planet-Girded Suns: The Long History of Belief in Exoplanets. She has also worked as a freelance editor of nonfiction anthologies for high school students. She is a strong supporter of space colonization, advocating for it in essays at a widely-read space section of her website as well as through her site spacequotes.com, which contains quotations about why humankind must expand into space. Her website is at sylviaengdahl.com.
