"Our book is a fanciful myth of fun, adventure and discovery. Starring in the book are: The Wizard, The Royal Family, a Long Yellow Snake, and people from the Land of Elfdom and the Kingdom of Sound. Follow the teen-agers, Princess Harmony and Prince Zick, in their quest to meet the Wizards Challenge and find what is missing in the Kingdom of Sound. Learn what magic the wizard has up his sleeve. And, what will happen to this brother and sister in the deep, dark woods? Be with them as they leap into the Land of Elfdom. Why does that long yellow snake keep showing up and winking at Zick? And, just who are the Band of Elves and the Elves of Note? The king and queen wonder if they will ever find their missing prince and princess. Will this brother and sisters friendly rivalry end in trouble or triumph? Will you accept the wizards challenge at the end? Enhanced by lively illustrations, this story is a delight to read quietly or aloud with a friend and great for acting out. Ages four to one hundred and four can enjoy its adventure, values, and language fun. May you leave this musical myth with a happy heart!"

"This is a cute childrens book that teaches an important lesson to children who may want to skip school for no real reason at all. The story Pang has written is an entertaining one, and the illustrations by Dwain Esper are of a high quality that match the written descriptions perfectly. This book would be a great story for any child, as its bright colors and well written tale both delight, and offer a moral at the end. Everyone is needed, everyone is specia" - Red City Review
