First U.S. edition of Enna Burning: Enna learns to harness the elements, and her own impulses, to save the kingdom of Bayern. The Books of Bayern, Book 2, by Shannon Hale.
Written by Shannon Hale. 2004, first U.S. edition. Bloomsbury, publishers.
This is the second book in the Books of Bayern series: The Goose Girl, Enna Burning, River Secrets, Forest Born.
In Enna Burning, Enna's older brother Leifer returns home from the forest with a piece of velum which he discovers holds the secret to harnessing fire. The fire ultimately consumes him, and nearly consumes Enna in Bayern's battle with the neighboring kingdom, but she controls the elements of fire, water, and wind by first controlling herself.
Enna Burning is typical of the fantasy genre, which centers on a quest, an alternate reality, and overcoming challenges. In the context of the series, Enna's character becomes more prominent in this second book as she battles with herself, the power of the elements, and violent aggressors, and learns to be more self-aware and responsible, and more courageous. A classic "coming of age" theme that Shannon Hale handles well.
