Playing on Yggdrasil - Alex McGilvery
Ten year old Justine has lived with the loss of her mother for two years. Even while she misses her Mom, she is discovering the gifts they share. When bullying at school makes Justine's life miserable she befriends a tree she calls Drasil. It fair that life causes so much pain for Justine, so her father is happy she has a new friend, even if it is a tree.
Justine tells stories of visiting a land where peace if valued above everything else, and hospitality is the primary virtue. Her father listens to her stories and marvels at how she changes, even as he wonders if they are true or the fantasy of a lonely young girl. When the stories turn dark and dangerous he worries that she is being hurt even in her land of peace.
He has no idea how much they both will be changed by the struggle between a people who believe in peace and those who trust in war.
