Imagine a universe where werearachnids rule, weredragons are nearly extinct, and beaststalkers are running for their lives. Jennifer's there, thanks to her former boyfriend. They remember the universe they came from, but no one else does. Somehow Jennifer has to stop the werearachnid plot and change things back before it's too late. ( )

Jennifer Scales had the shock of her life when she discovered that she wasn't truly human. She found out who she really was right when she began to morph, which was perfect timing for her parents to tell her how she is beaststalker and weredragon. To make matters even worse, both the halves that make up Jennifer are at odds with each other.

Jennifer wants all sides to have peace with one another, and her trip to Crescent Valley shows this. Bringing along a human, Susan, her best friend who she finally revealed her secret to, another weredragon, a beaststalker, her friend, Eddie, and a werachnid, her ex-boyfriend Skip, Jennifer really does hope that things will go peacefully.

If Eddie and Skip can survive their fight with one another and her parents can get along, then anything can happen.

There at Crescent Valley is Xavier Longtail, a respected dragon who didn't fully support Jennifer when she was being chosen as ambassador, only because he doesn't believe beaststalkers and weredragons can live among one another.

Before she knows it, Jennifer is slowly influenced by Xavier's words, but not for too long. Soon after, an epic battle erupts, and the weredragons biggest threat, the werarchnids, have a huge advantage over them. Saved by a necklace given to her by her ex, Skip, Jennifer is left with Xavier, her family gone. This means that they both need to find common ground to save the weredragons and to save Jennifer's friends and family.

Will the idea of peace be totally obliterated or can it still have a meaning?

A wonderful third installment to the already imaginative series, THE SILVER MOON ELM continues Jennifer's journey of acceptance with even more obstacles to face. Jennifer becomes a stronger character and more history of all the species' is revealed. Detailed and intricate, MaryJanice Davidson and Anthony Alongi do not disappoint their readers. ( )

I'm still not sure how I feel about these books. The main character, Jennifer, just seems so mean at times and I can't really relate to her. Not that I can relate to a weredragon or anything, but even when I was in the middle of my teenage angst years, I don't remember being that mean. And the whole book is just too sci-fi for me. ( )

I loved the first two installments in the Jennifer Scales series. I was eager to read this one and excited to find that it seemed a little longer than the previous two. In "The Silver Moon Elm", Jennifer is trying to encourage alliances between the dragons and the beaststalkers. She finds out some things in her parents past that aren't pleasant and could affect some of her current relationships. Suddenly the world as she knows it has been changed. Jennifer and Skip find themeselves in an alternative universe where the Arachnids have destroyed nearly every dragon and beaststalker. Jennifer learns that most of her family and friends are dead and others never existed. She finds an unlikely ally in Xavier Longtail, the elder dragon who never seemed to find much redeemable in Jennifer before. But this alternative universe Xavier is eager to meet the Ancient Furnace and is more than happy to join her on a quest to reclaim the world as they knew it. While I enjoyed the relationship between Jennifer and Xavier, and also enjoyed seeing some regular characters in this odd universe, I felt like this volume was just missing something. The story just felt off, different from the other Jennifer Scales books. From the get go you know that this can't really be the end of Jennifer's parents...you know basically how the story will end. I'm not sure Jennifer got anything from this story that will make any difference in the following stories. For all the different sides to people the Jennifer gets a glimpse of, it doesn't really change anything. "Silver Moon Elm" floats from page to page in a myriad of different tones. There are humourous scenes, sad scenes, angry scenes...even tragic scenes, in a sense. Yet overall, this book really didn't deliver. I found it took far too long to read, which in my way of thinking, means that the story isn't nearly interesting enough. I think if the casual reader was to read this series and skip book 3, they wouldn't miss anything of importance. I am going to read book 4 when it comes out soon, but I do hope it will be stronger than this one. ( )
