Eli And The Mystery Of The Hallowshine Dragon
by Eve Cabanel
Two courageous friends adventure through lands of unicorns, fairies, and magical rainbows to confront a terrifying beast with a surprising wish.
In a beautiful enchanted forest lives a moon elf named Eli and her friend Luna. When Luna’s baby bunny is turned into hard rock candy by magical sugar crystals, the friends begin a journey to do the impossible to reverse the curse: confront the terrifying and legendary Hallowshine dragon for a drop of its healing saliva.
In their journey to find the dragon, Eli and Luna meet magical creatures and travel through various dreamy lands including the Abyss of Time, a marvelous unicorn’s kingdom, a whimsical fairy’s home, and a waterfall with enchanted golden shoes.
The friends race against time to find the mysterious dragon and a magical lesson is learned about how love, friendship, and acceptance can heal all if you have courage and believe in yourself.

Magical and adorable! First, how cute are these illustrations? I absolutely loved them! The story was fun, and will definitely inspire the imaginations of young readers. There are some wonderful characters that Eli meets along the way, each unique and magical. I’m looking forward to more adventures with Eli in the magical woods.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
One of children’s book author Eve Cabanel’s fondest memories as a child is when her French grandmother would make up wonderfully imaginative stories for her. Now as a mother, Eve wanted to do the same for her young son, creating a fantastic enchanted fairy tale in her new picture book Eli and the Mystery of the Hallowshine Dragon.
Eve often gets ideas for her stories from her dreams. After being inspired by the drawings of the character Eli created by her niece, Eve had a dream about the moon elf and put pen to paper, chronicling Eli’s adventures in an enchanted forest, filled with dragons, fairies, and unicorns.
Eve hopes that her young readers will come away from her stories feeling that they are able to conquer their fears and overcome any obstacle that comes their way. She likes to share a subtle message with kids that being outside of your comfort zone is how they learn more about themselves and gain an inner strength that will help them to pursue their dreams.
Eve was raised in the French countryside by the woods where she played in suspended tree houses amongst wild forest animals, like the character Eli in her book. As a child, Eve had a goat and pet chicken that would follow her everywhere. An animal and nature lover at an early age, she rescued baby squirrels and encountered foxes, deer, and hedgehogs on a regular basis.
Originally from France, Eve currently lives in Montreal, Canada. When she isn’t writing imaginative and uplifting stories for children, Eve loves to travel, discover new places, do some gardening and play with her one-year-old son and their two cats, Buddy and Charlie.
Eve has also a blog www.organic-beauty-recipes.com dedicated to spreading awareness on the dangers of commercial beauty products and sharing ways to create natural and organic alternatives at home with simple ingredients. She is the published author of the adult non-fiction book Organic Beauty Recipes by Eve – The complete guide to DIY natural beauty.
Eli and the Mystery of the Hallowshire Dragon is her debut children’s book.
