Elizabeth Angier was happy to be at the end of the school year. She thought her summer on the family farm would be full of work and play with her best friend, Rachel, and her other best friend, her dog, Maizey. However, Elizabeth didn't anticipate the Harmony Farms Corporation moving to her town. Her world starts to crumble as her best friend moves away and her parents whisper of farmers selling their land and the effects this factory farm operation could have on them. When she thinks things can't get much worse, she meets the most unusual creature, Gaia, the living entity of the Earth. Strange things begin to happen to her, around her, and through her! Elizabeth discovers that with these new powers comes responsibility. A dire mistake makes Elizabeth wonder if meeting Gaia has been a blessing or a curse. Will Elizabeth have the strength to fight a large corporation? Or will her upstate New York home be spoiled by profit driven pork production that fouls the air, land, and water?

About the Gaia Girls Series:
What would you do if you could hear the Earth asking for help? In the Gaia Girls book series, that is what happens to four girls, each from a different region of the world. They are approached by Gaia, the living organism of the Earth. Each is endowed with powers over one of the four elements: earth, air, fire, and water. They must learn to use their powers to help Gaia survive the effects of modern humanity.
Gaia Girls: Enter the Earth features a total of 38 beautiful illustrations, and 36 of the illustrations have hidden codes in them. Readers can use these hidden codes to unlock cool prizes at GaiaGirls.com!
Here's what one teacher had to say about Gaia Girls: Enter the Earth:
"I just finished previewing [Enter the Earth] for my class of 4th/5th graders at North Country School in Lake Placid, New York. I have to say it is the most inspiring, promising piece of juvenile literature I have read in a long time, and it couldn't be more perfect for my curriculum this year. I am doing a unit on trees in Science, and will use your book in Language Arts. There are so many fabulous and relevant issues in this book that our kids will be able to talk about and identify with. I just had to write to say thank you for thinking up such an amazing story and for putting it on paper! I cannot wait to introduce my students to the world of Gaia, through Elizabeth. We'll be waiting for your next book." Sincerely, Katherine Anne Tholen, North Country School
