Element Academy, a debut middle-grade fantasy novel co-authored by Adhvita Nagalla and Tashvi Kolla, is now available for purchase on Amazon. The novel centers on eleven-year-old Amaya Abigail Ravin, a sixth-grader in Farmington Hills, Michigan, who feels trapped by constant surveillance from her overprotective family and the rigid environment of her private school, Evergreen Academy. Amaya's life changes when she discovers her connection to elemental forces and is drawn into the hidden world of Element Academy, where students are trained to command Nature, Water, Fire, Air, and Ice. Rooted in an ancient prophecy set in the land of Golden Harmony, where gods forged a pact to hold back Dark Elemental Powers, Amaya must confront family secrets, forge friendships, and embrace her destiny to restore balance.
The novel, featuring 24 chapters, a mythic prologue, and an epilogue that sets up future adventures, balances high-stakes magical conflict with emotional depth. Nagalla, originally from Michigan and now based in Texas, conceived the story in third grade, aiming to uplift young readers. Co-author Kolla, from Texas, hopes to inspire creativity and thoughtfulness in the next generation. The book is independently published and available at Amazon. Element Academy is positioned as a natural companion to series like Rick Riordan's Percy Jackson and Chris Colfer's The Land of Stories, making it suitable for classroom and library use.
