Element Academy, a debut middle-grade fantasy novel conceived and authored by Adhvita Nagalla with co-author Tashvi Kolla, is now available on Amazon. The book introduces readers to a world where elemental magic and relatable adolescent struggles intersect, marking the arrival of a distinctive new creative voice in youth literature.
The story follows eleven-year-old Amaya Abigail Ravin, a sixth-grader in Farmington Hills, Michigan, who feels trapped under constant surveillance—from tracking devices sewn into her backpack to the fortress-like halls of her private school, Evergreen Academy. Witty and observant, Amaya longs for something more, unaware that an ancient elemental world has been watching her. When she discovers her profound connection to elemental forces, she is drawn into the hidden Element Academy, where students train to command Nature, Water, Fire, Air, and Ice. Rooted in an age-old prophecy set in the land of Golden Harmony, where gods once forged a pact to hold back the Dark Elemental Powers, Amaya must confront family secrets, forge friendships, and embrace a destiny that could determine the fate of harmony itself.
With 24 chapters, a prologue rooted in myth, and an epilogue hinting at future adventures, Element Academy offers a richly imagined world populated with memorable characters—from Amaya’s overprotective family to her complex friendships and rivalries at the Academy. The novel balances high-stakes magical conflict with genuine emotional depth, making it accessible to reluctant readers and devoted fantasy fans alike.
The book is positioned as a natural companion to Rick Riordan’s Percy Jackson series and Chris Colfer’s The Land of Stories, making it suited for classroom use and school library collections. Independently published, Element Academy is now available in print.
Nagalla, originally from Michigan and now based in Texas, has nurtured the vision for Element Academy since third grade. Passionate about visual arts, writing, and humanities, she aspires to a career in law and channels her storytelling into narratives that empower young readers. Kolla, born and raised in Texas, is an aspiring attorney and creative writer who joined Nagalla to bring the novel to life, hoping to inspire young people to express themselves with creativity and thoughtfulness.
The debut novel stands apart in the middle-grade fantasy genre through its original elemental mythology, emotionally grounded characters, and a positive, life-affirming message. For readers seeking a new adventure filled with magic and heart, Element Academy offers a compelling journey.
