The Woodland Girls: Quest for the Rings (Paperback or Softback)

A long time ago in a world filled with elves, ogres, dwarfs, and trolls didn't just live under bridges, and dragons could still fly, we find the Woodland Girls. As darkness spreads its tentacles across the land, the three sisters find themselves left alone in the Woodlands until they make it to their grandmother's house in Truitt. There the girls learn that their grandmother is a Ring Master and she is willing to teach them what they need to know to become Ring Masters themselves. Hopefully, before it's too late.

It tells of the girl's ups and downs and the lessons they learn on the path to becoming Ring Masters. Follow along with the girls as they learn their lessons with the help of ogres, elves, trolls, and even witches. Learn the lessons they do and then maybe you could be a Ring Master too.
