NEW BOOKMARK (After consulting with many readers, we realized a bookmark   For Potter Fans Hungry for Another Epic Fantasy! Lovers of Harry Potter, Lord of The Rings, Eragon, The Wizard of Oz,The Chronicles of Narnia, Red Wall Abby, The Alchemist, Here There Be Dragons, The Last Dragon, And for the older folks like me - Dragon Riders of Pern, The Mysts of Avalon, Jonathan Livingston Seagull, and Ali Baba & The Forty Thieves GreeHee will knock your socks off! Here are some reviews: “Ample mystic lore and wisdom teachings are gently and artfully woven into a rousing good tale. The kids will have to share this one with the grown-ups.” — Light of Consciousness _____________________________________________________________________ “Avanti is a master story teller as she guides you though this young dragons encounters with danger and evil. I love this book! .... — Mystic Pop Magazine _____________________________________________________________________ “...GreeHee, The Journey of Five, had me on the edge of my seat. ...a young dragon and the fairy....must face their enemies, their fears, and keep alive the hope of their hearts. GreeHee is a book of mystery, adventure and prophecy ...I truly recommend GreeHee, The Journey of Five.” — In Light Times _____________________________________________________________________ “Being a middle-aged man, fantasy isn’t exactly my cup of tea, but I thoroughly enjoyed the book. The marvelous fantasy world the author created, the wonderful creatures and characters inhabiting that world, and their epic physical and spiritual journey are entrancing. This is a fine work of fiction that will be hard to equal as the series continues.” — Comments from an NCPA Judge ________________________________________________________________ “...I honestly did NOT think that I would become so thoroughly engrossed in a so-called Children’s Book. The story is told in a ...straightforward manner, ...complicated enough to hold the interest of discerning adults who ... find it difficult to lose themselves in a world of fantasy.... I believe that it’s a story for ANY age group ...I highly recommend this fascinating and well-written story.” — Linda Cunningham, Norton Brothers Books, Roseburg, OR & www.nortonbrothersbook.com ______________________________________________________________________ “I am not a fantasy reader but when the rage over Harry Potter got to me I ...read it, and enjoyed it. But when I read Michele’s GreeHee The Journey of Five I felt that I discovered a new J.K. Rowling. The lovable characters ...dragons, fairies, giants - are etched in your memory long after you close the book. Like Harry Potter, Michele’s fantasy will appeal to both children and adults. It’s only a matter of time when the U.S. version of Ms. Rowling takes hold in America.” — Francine Silverman, author of Talk Radio for Authors, Riverside, New York ______________________________________________________________________ “...I’ve worked with ...school children and have tried to choose books to read to them...that would enhance their self esteem and encourage them to make good choices. GreeHee is an excellent ....I highly recommend it to any age group-even us big kids. — Carron Baxter, Retired Elementary & Middle School Teacher, Gardnerville, NV ______________________________________________________________________
“Michele Avanti writes like an artist paints--visually. With words as
colors, magical characters as texture, and an enthralling plot as form,
the GreeHee canvas captivates and enchants. In the first chapter you're
into the painting. You've mounted up on GreeHee's rippling back, behind
the beautiful, kidnapped fairy, Loni. You join their quest--one seeks
to return home, the other to prove a dragon's savage prowess. Then
you're off and into Michele Avanti's masterful composition--gasping at
the mystery, in awe of the fantasy, intrigued with the adventure,
rolling in laughter, and enlightened by the wisdom. ” — Eda Hatfield, Retired Teacher, Reno, Nevada ______________________________________________________________________
Great for Pre-Teens, Teens, Young Adults &
Young at Heart! ______________________________________________________________________
"I couldn't stop reading this wonderful fantasy. I read it in one sitting through the night. Every character in the book touched a part of my soul as if I had been this character or at least lived the same experiences, feelings and thoughts at some time in my existence in this lifetime or in another. GreeHee, a young dragon, who wanted to be cruel like his father comes upon Loni,a young fairy, who helps GreeHee follow his heart. Together their adventures help them learn to love, overcome obstacles and be true to their hearts. This book is not just for children. Every adult should read this book. It helps us go back to our childhood where fantasy and dreams are always alive and real. You will love GreeHee, Loni and their adventures in Tamoor. I am looking forward to Michele Avanti's next book in the series. Thank you, Michele, for your vision and sharing it with us." —Donna Smith, Administrator, Unity of Roseburg, Roseburg, Oregon ______________________________________________________________________
A Ripping Good Story "GreeHee is a gentle and fascinating flight into a unique imaginary world, and a lovely, uplifting, tale of self-discovery and the empowering, healing value of love, honesty, and friendship. The narrative is brisk and uncluttered driven almost exclusively by concise, well realized dialogue as the characters interact, questioning events, and revealing their ideas, hopes and fears. The overall narrative structure is similar to a video game, moving from place to place, dilemma to dilemma, with a solution and a message at each turn. Thus the tale never flags or loses focus and pulls you in, and along, with it. Its a genuine page turner, you will have a hard time putting it down as it scurries along. The author's occasional forays into description never obstruct this flow but serve to illuminate particular aspects of a marvelous highly imaginative dreamlike world as necessary to the narrative context. The sensation is one of running along with the events, sharing the lives of the generally agreeable, 'believable' imaginary characters and their need to reach the end of their quest of discovery. A quest which gently - descriptively rather than prescriptively - articulates a philosophy of faith and love, where evil cannot be overcome by violence but by its own lack of love which ultimately finds it helpless when confronted by a community of trusting friends who share their love honestly and willingly. If you like, a good fantasy tale and/or if you like to read out loud, and have children, they will love GreeHee and company's journey of self-realization and understanding, and the wealth of characters and dialogue will give you a great opportunity to develop your skills at characterization. The message of love, faith in self, trust in others, honesty, community and willingness to listen and accept difference even as our cultural training tells us to be suspicious is one that needs to be told. This book tells it very well and makes for joyful, enlightening, heartwarming, reading (maybe someone might send copies to a number of our political leaders, we could certainly use a few "friendly dragons"). Highly recommended to lovers of the heart, fantasy world travelers, and children of all ages. — Orsetto, Lecturer in English Language & Culture, University of Bari, Italy ______________________________________________________________________
Awesome and Inspiring "What an amazing book! Michele has outdone herself! In this fantasy adventure, the formula for the ultimate triumph of love and good over evil is revealed. You won't be disappointed!" — Richard Valverde, Software Engineer, Johnstown, Colorado ______________________________________________________________________
Uplifting "You have to read GreeHee the Journey of Five! It is so uplifting and inspiring! The characters in the book were filled with such goodness, love, hope, faith and tolerance. In a world filled with greed, war, anger and judgement, it was so refreshing to read this book. It takes you away to a better place - a place filled with the kind of awe, love and joy our own planet and people should possess more of. The messages contained within the book are so important to our every day lives. We have to stay centered, balanced and fearless so we can find our inner selves and fight the internal/external battles that plague us daily. Only if we stay true to ourselves and love ourselves without judgement, and not cave in to pressures and expectations of others, do we win the war of life. If we stay true to this tenet, we will find ourselves surrounded by those who hold similar beliefs and values and love us for who we are as well, just like the five in the book. "I related to GreeHee the most because he had a difficult upbringing - parents who were not supportive of him and wanted him to conform to their twisted beliefs. Even though their conditioning didn't feel right inside, he was still fearful that maybe he was the one who was wrong - he was the one who was defective. But instead of just living a lie and going along with what others told him he should be, he struck out on his own, forged his own path and discovered his own belief and value system that was right for him. And because he stayed true to himself, he was able to conquer his fears in a way that others could not. His faith stayed strong, he was drawn to others who supported his search and in the end, he succeeded in conquering his demons - the ones we all face in our own lives. There's something for everyone in GreeHee The Journey of Five - fantasy, magic, mystery, intrigue, adventure and especially wisdom. I still think about the wisdom contained in this book and try to apply it to my own life daily. I can't wait for book #2 to come out!"— Deb Blyth, Mother of Two, San Clemente, California ______________________________________________________________________
“I have to admit I don’t read a lot of
fiction, but when I received Tales of Tamoor, I closed my bedroom door
and didn’t want to get up for anything. My mind kept racing to unravel
the mystery of the prophecy. I was bowled over by the magic and the
scenery – wow! My recommendation - buy it.”
T. A. Tarzana, California age 42 ______________________________________________________________________
“I loved GreeHee, I’ve been where he is
and reading this book brought my inner child to life. What a journey!
The places amazed me - Castle Farion, and the Crystal Mountains,
visually stunning. This is a book I will read again and again, I can’t
wait for the movie…Peter Jackson, are you listening?” ______________________________________________________________________
“Tales of Tamoor is filled
with fresh ideas. Here you get the wisdom of Jonathan Livingston Seagull
and the adventure and mystery of the Celestine Prophecy rolled into an
epic fantasy of colossal proportions liken to The Chronicles of Narnia
or The Lord of the Rings. A mysterious prophecy, a perilous journey and
an encounter with evil. Danger and surprise at every turn…and lots and
lots of magic! I loved it, once you pick it up, get comfortable,
you’ll read till dawn.” ______________________________________________________________________
"I found so many things in this book, not just
another adventure, this one offers the reader a gift, to recognize the
beauty of who you are despite who you think you are or what others say
about you.” ______________________________________________________________________
“Tales of Tamoor is a virtual banquet of
magic, mystery, adventure, laughter and wisdom. And the enchanting
places will remain in my dreams for years to come.” ______________________________________________________________________
“If you like fantasy, Tales of Tamoor is a
must. Not a dull moment from cover to cover. I’m a sucker for dragons
and GreeHee is the kind of dragon you can’t help but love - deep
thinking and big-hearted. Even though he wants his father to be proud of
him, he finds himself in predicaments that lead him to discover it’s
better to be who you are than what your parent or society says you
should be.”
J. L. Bronx, New York age 17 ______________________________________________________________________
“Asked which characters are my favorite,
naturally I like GreeHee – he is a really nice dragon, but my favorite
is Dr. Paychente, always humming and always with a crystal clear view of
the world. Best Carron going. I love Tamoor! Bring on Book Two.”
“I wrote this
book to give you a place to visit and escape from the pressures of daily
life. In Tamoor you can reawaken wonder, refresh your energy and realize
that a divine hand weaves all your imperfections into a magnificent
tapestry.

reeHee
has never flown beyond his mountain. He’s never seen a fairy or a
wizard before, and never known a giant. All GreeHee knows is a lonely
life living with his cruel father who calls him a sniveling runt and who
often abandons him for months at a time. He never knew his mother and
has never had a friend. He spends his days practicing the dragon-art,
hoping someday to make his father proud.
