Julie’s Quick Picks for April 2012

By Julie Elizabeth Powell on April 25, 2012

Old Evil Comes to New Hope by Jean Carver

Yet another wonderful tale full of enchantment.

I loved it from beginning to end, with good and evil characters that are so believable that it becomes an edge of your seat read wondering what is going to happen. It is crammed with such creatures as dragons, panthers and even a black unicorn, which bring more magic to this fabulous tale.

Brilliant as usual and highly recommended.

The Boy Who Would Be A Fire Truck by Marty Wombacher

I loved this.

The flow of words rose effortlessly from each page and brought a smile and even laughter.  Although the humour is at the forefront of the style, there is an undercurrent of vulnerability.

I would say that anyone who reads this will be hooked from the beginning and relate to many of the themes within, for example, ‘not wanting to be an adult’.  But as concluded in the author’s words, ‘you just didn’t have to do it’ is the moment from which I understood the essence of what was to come.

Highly recommended.

Sudden Disappearance by Michael Pennington

Certainly an atmospheric beginning.

The brilliant use of alliteration brings alive the mystery and suspense necessary for this kind of story.

Worth a look.
