Narrative In Pursuance Of Books Enchantress from the Stars (Elana #1)

Elana is a member of a supremely advanced interstellar civilization, on a mission to the medieval planet Andrecia. To her shock, she becomes the key to a dangerous plan to turn back an invasion by an aggressive, space-faring "Youngling" species. How can she possibly help the Andrecians, who still believe in magic and superstition, without revealing her alien powers?

Rate Based On Books Enchantress from the Stars (Elana #1)

This is my best-known novel. Though often given to children as young as the 6th grade because it was a Newbery Honor book, it is really intended for teens and is also enjoyed by many adults.

Ten to fifteen years after reading this book, I still remember the scene in which the anthropologist-from-the-stars gives the woodcutter-who-believes-in-magic orange soda, and he's like "magic elixer!" Hah! Loved this story of high technology and low meeting--it's kinda a Prime Directive parable.

Enchantress From the Stars has a bit of an ambitious high concept, and pulls it off very well.

The 'main' story is given by

I like the language, and the raising of issues about who qualifies as 'human' (for example).But I often don't agree with the arguments. I don't accept that loyalty and adherence to 'irrevocable' commitments are good behavior. It's taken me a lot of wrestling with my conscience to get to this point. This book made me reconsider--and I came to the same conclusion, after seriously considering the arguments. Loyalty, by

But try to undo it she does, along with two other agents, and together they create a plan involving the native man Georyn, whose real belief in magic and
