What to expect
The Elves of Owl's Head Mountain is a young adult fantasy novel based on Native American magical beliefs and characters. Native Americans believed in elves, witches, wizards (shamans), wind-walkers, and changelings. They believed these magical beings "walked the wind" into other dimensions. The Elves of Owl's Head Mountain is about a boy living in the Adirondack Mountains who is summoned by a shaman into the magical dimension, where he shares adventures with the elves and wizards of that world.
Jamie Sutliff has turned a number of his stories into award-winning screenplays, including The Devil Wind, which won a Laurel Leaf for best screenplay at Hollywood's Independent Film Festival; Yah-Ko, which won the Silver Award at the International Independent Film Awards; and Antidote Man, a semifinalist at the Hollywood Circus Road Film Festival.

“Because kids are over-stimulated and exposed to so much violence, it is important for the more basic values to be validated. What a comfort to escape to Owl’s Head Mountain where honor and courage are valued. This book is readable and so much fun. I think kids of all ages will enjoy it.”

“Be prepared for kids to tell you this is better than a new Harry Potter book—mine did. It is so well visualized you might say the movie has been made.”
Mason Smith, author of Everybody Knows and Nobody Cares
