Dear Reader,

This is the story of Root Karbunkulus, who is probably the same age as you and maybe even the same height. And if you are brave and clever, then you have that in common as well.

Perhaps that is where your similarities end. Unless, of course, you too hate the idea of foraging through sewers, plucking your wicked Aunt's nose hairs, and massaging your other wicked Aunt's crusty feet. If you instead long for adventure and thrill over magic, then, yes, you are quite like Root.

Now, suppose you think the perfect companion is a trusty Hovermutt, and a cursed castle makes for a grand home (as long as you avoid the cold spots!). Well then, you and Root are in fine company indeed.

So, when Root's magic fails and her confidence wanes, but she must keep searching for the fabled Miist of Kalliope no matter what, even if it means facing Sea Wraiths, archrivals, and the most notorious Bratjacker of all time, what, dear reader, would you do?

Recipient of the Readers Choice Five Star Award and a Kids Pick Seal of Approval. For young readers who love heart-pounding adventures, magical worlds, epic quests, and fantastical creatures like never before, Root Karbunkulus offers an unputdownable debut!
