Valley of the Misty Mountain is Book One of the Kodi Trilogy. When eight-year-old Kodi leaves his coastal village for a hike up Misty Mountain with his grandfather, he imagines they might be back before nightfall. But this is no ordinary journey, and certainly Gardon, his grandfather, is no ordinary person! In Valley of the Misty Mountain, the first book of this exciting trilogy, Kodi and Gardon join with Jalu -- another 'ancient wise one' and friend to Gardon -- and his grandson Kalu. Together, the four must use the Four Lessons and a little magic to escape from a marauding tribe led by the brutal Alcock. The Kodi Trilogy is a coming-of-age journey in which the title character encounters learning situations on his path to becoming 'the one.' Author CHRISTINE BUZZI Born in England with a very active imagination and thirst for adventure, Christine emigrated alone to Australia at the age of 20. There in the outback she met a special someone who later became her husband and father of her two children. Christine is now retired, living on Vancouver Island. Besides the KODI Trilogy, she has also written a novel based on her youthful adventures (think of it as Bridget Jones fumbles through the Australian outback) called Butterfly under a pseudonym.

Forests full of mystery, gardens that remain aloof from outside gazes, mountains whose fog-shrouded summits are hidden in a thick veil--the views of nature that Axel Htte captures in these photographs are vividly animate and seductive, but ultimately allow nature to remain sovereign and at a distance. Panoramas of awesome beauty absorb the gaze and simultaneously put it in its place--nature remains intact and impenetrable.
