Meet Alena Summers
Alena Summers is an adventurous animal-loving girl who lives in the village of Covenant. Her home is the planet called Devonia, an Earth-like planet far away where her parents’ transport ship crash landed many years ago.
Alena has one brother, Michael, and two sisters, Janine and Raquelita. Janine is just big enough to start helping and doing big-kid stuff like fishing at Ice Cube Creek. (Fishing is one of the Devonian children’s favorite things to do!)
Alena loves babies of all kinds. She wants to study animals like her father and doctoring like Mrs. Nala and Mrs. Emma. She loves getting to nurse the baby Brown-Sheep if they are rejected by their ewes (mother sheep). Sometimes Alena’s temper flares fast. She speaks the truth without tempering it. Her father often says she must learn to speak the truth in love instead of in anger or pride. Alena loves her beautiful world. She comes across many unique animals and has fun adventures with her siblings and friends. Alena also loves stories; she thinks that Butterfly tells the best ones.
One of Alena’s favorite stories in the world is the story of how Tawny came to be a part of her family. That story is found in the third book in The Devonians Series called, “A Foundling Furball.” When Alena tells it later, it starts like this:
One day while fishing, Alena heard what she thought was a baby crying. The fishermen looked for this sound. They discovered a baby dengee (a wolf-like animal) that was badly hurt! Alena brought this dengee pup home and her father oversees while she doctors it. (Alena’s father studies all types of animals and their family tends the village’s current herd of Brown-Sheep) Alena names this baby girl dengee, Tawny.
Come follow Alena and her friends on fun adventures in their special world of Devonia here!
