The Dome-Singer of Falenda

Description

People say Danny’s voice is heaven on earth. But now he’s in Falenda, and his voice will have to save a world.

Danny thinks he has it hard enough on Earth: his mother disappeared when he was six, a gang of bullies torments him, and his alcoholic father is threatening to take him out of his beloved choir school. Then he falls into the near-paradisal world of Falenda, where the people communicate telepathically and life is one continual, glorious song. But the harmonious life of the Falendans is threatened by an evil being who is enslaving the Citizens within a great crystal Dome by destroying their telepathic powers. Danny’s never seen himself as a hero. But now, along with Meli, a Falendan girl his own age, he must save Falenda from destruction—and rescue his mother in the process—by climbing the dread Tower of Grozlukh and singing down the Dome.

The Dome-Singer of Falenda is a fantasy novel for ages 10 and up.

Reader Reviews

“This book is filled with music and beauty, fraught with gripping adventure, and causes the reader to re-think the power of their thoughts. Themes include the power of familial love, the importance of discerning (and valuing) good over evil, and the importance of focus. People of a variety of ages and genders will be entranced by the characters’ journey and uplifted by this beautiful read.”

“Reminiscent of CS Lewis's Out of a Silent Planet, this story of faith, angels and demons, and life in communion with one's creator, has a unique voice and is a page turner from beginning to end.”

“Probably intended for teenage readers, this delightful, gentle fantasy with mystical undertones had a certain sixty-eight-year-old riveted from beginning to end. Both the human and Falendan characters are entirely believable.”
