Rescuing Awen

When Dell finds himself attacked by alien shape shifters, befriended by giant, telepathic crows and talking to a stranger who creates force fields, Dell discovers that his grandfather's medallion is a key to Awen, a sentient planet at the center of several galaxies. Awen tells him she is dying - mutilated by a group of criminals out to steal the minerals lying under the planet's crust. The ailing planet bestows Dell with the power to control Her Air, Fire, Water and Soil to rescue Her from certain destruction. But even with the aid of the telepathic planet and a fast-talking squirrel, Dell may not be able to save himself, much less Awen.
