Rarely does a book come along that so captivates me that I know without a doubt it is the beginning of a new phenomenon. The Questory of Root Karbunkulus is that book. I know without a doubt this book will capture the interest of readers and develop a large following.
It is not fair to compare The Questory of Root Karbunkulus to Harry Potter, (as many reviewers have done) for I feel it surpasses that series. Kamilla Reid has created a world where a wisteria serves as a look out for her owner and magic abounds. A true challenge for an author is to see the landscape in their mind and adequately paint a word picture conveying that landscape. Reid did not do this adequately; she did it superbly!
Like many classic stories, Root Karbunkulus is on a quest. However, this is not your typical tale. Root is a multifaceted character--strong, loving, and intelligent. Along her journey, she meets many friends; each one has a distinct voice. I cannot say enough good about this book. This is epic movie material. This is classic. This is sure to please both young teens and adults.
