Mystical Aria (Vol 1): Seeking the Gallion Queen

by Jean Neff Neff Guthrie

Overview

Winner of Literary Classics 2017 Gold Award (Tween Fantasy). Secretly psychic Aria Vanir of Virginia Beach trusts only her mother with the knowledge of her visions until she connects with technically and spiritually advanced aliens, the Gallions. Then Aria confides in her best friend, Tommy Manger. His surprise, doubts, and anger threaten to end their friendship. When the Gallions beam Aria, Tommy, and Aria's tomboyish older sister, Jackie, aboard their superspaceship, Aria's mother makes a bold move to save her daughters. None of them realize that the Navy has sent Aria's SEAL father on a mission to capture the Gallions or destroy their superspaceship. Worse, Aria's father has no idea he's putting his daughters and Tommy in harm's way.

Nashata, Queen Supreme of the Gallions, leads the diplomatic mission to make peaceful contact with Aria, the only human she trusts with the secrets of her people. Can Aria broker peace between the aliens and SEALS, despite the fears and disbeliefs of those closest to her?

Literary Classics Book Reviews

"I bought this book for my two granddaughters and gave it to them yesterday. They are eight and ten years old. I got a text from their mother this morning. The older daughter was almost late for school because she couldn't put the book down. Great book for children."

James

"This is fantastic! It opens spirit and heart as well as a galactic window, reminding us that we are part of something much bigger than we might think we are. Uplifting and intelligent, with a positive attitude towards a possible existence of aliens, this book is a pleasure to read, indeed."

Dominique

"Light-hearted and uplifting story. A great book for young adults."

Kevin Downing

"Great read, and if I had a pre-teen daughter or niece, this would be a gift to her! Great fun for my inner teen!"

White Fox

"Aria's journey with the Gallion Queen enchants adults as delightfully as young adults. I enjoyed my journey into the Gallion world and lives of the children tremendously. I especially treasured the magical gifts each of the children received. What a wonderful book!"

Lisa Michaels, Author

"I loved the story, weaving of the characters, and interesting ideas of " life" presented. Purchased the book for my granddaughters and read it first. Quickly became engaged with the characters. My 10-year-old granddaughter read it in one sitting and loved everything about it."

Cathrine Estar

"I was checking out this book for my grandchildren and found that I very much enjoyed it myself. The themes embedded in the story are meaningful to all ages. The aliens in the story came to life on the pages while the relationships of siblings and friends could be universally understood. A magical read."
