I stayed up too late and got up to early to finish it. I was unable to put it down until the end and then I wanted more.

Thank you for the AWESOME presentation! Now it is impossible to keep the book in the library and I have a waiting list. I get comments such as "awesome" and "I couldn't put it down" all the time. You have captured the audience, another J.K. Rowling. Thank you again!

It has been at least three months since we had your wonderful presentation at our school and even after getting copies of the book, we have a hard time keeping up with the demand. I, too read it and found it hard to put down!

Rarely does a book come along that so captivates me that I know without a doubt it is the beginning of a new phenomenon.”

Your book is so addictive! I have read it three times now! I’m waiting for it back from a borrower, and I can’t wait to read it time number four! Two girls I know have the book, one of which purchased at the book tour at her school! And the V-Log sounds so cool! I used to read books once and I was never very into fantasy, etc. Your book must be magic, or something, ’cause I’m hooked! Book 2 much anticipated here!

Words do not often fail me, but this book, from the very first page, took my breath away. It takes hold of you and never lets go, and leaves you wanting more. I can hardly stand the agony of waiting for the next book.This was the most wonderful experience a book could ever bring.

We met at Chapters that Saturday and I just wanted to say that your new book was great. I rarely find a book that I enjoy and that has enough fantasy in it but yours did. I was also wondring when the next book would come out? I can’t wait to read it and also have you found a place where you can sell Chorm yet? That is all I wanted to say and if you could reply I would be quite happy! Thanks!

Hi there, I purchased a copy of your book and couldn’t put it down! It was a delightful read that left me wondering what would happen next. Are you planning to write a second book?? If so when could I expect it??
Kelly, age 13
This book had me on the edge of my seat the whole time. It was a lot like National Treasure but better because it was magical and more fictional. There was six of the same item that had to be found and over a hundred teams racing for them. I liked how the teams got made up and then the group had to pick a team name. My favorite one was The Pinks. Also it was cool that the author made up so many creatures like Hovermutts and Simps. I’m really excited for the next book in the series to come out.

I absolutely loved the book. I couldn’t put it down. I had it finished within 2 days. I heard about it from a lady at my mother’s work (AB Blue Cross). I can’t wait for the next one. Thanks. My name is Jacqueline Unger and I am 19. I know, a little old but I loved it!!!!!!

Dear Ms. Reid,
That book was great! I loved the part where Root had a bath for the very first time! But my favourite part was when the valadors found the miist of Kallieopie. It was fantastic! I’ve been reading Root Karbunkulus soooooooo much it seems like I read it every day! The book worm,

P.s. My mom is reading it now so I can’t read it. But don’t worry, my mom loves it!

Yes, it is true; Fenya did indeed disappear for a day. Actually what happened is she started the book at school, read when she got home, took a break for supper and continued until 10:45 when I told her to "GO to sleep!" 
. She only had about 25 pages to go at this point which she quickly finished on Friday but then started to find her favorite parts and continue with it. I have since started to read it myself and am very intrigued as well. I had to sneak it out of Fenya’s bedroom when she was sleeping last night . Thank you again for coming to her schecool; I know she was shy with you but she was very excited to show and tell everyone about it afterwards! We look forward to seeing more books of yours out on the shelves in the future.

I read (The Questory) and thoroughly enjoyed it. Both the front and back cover are curled due to having read it over and over. Your website is absolutely BEAUTIFUL! I am quite curious as to when the 2nd Item will be published. Thank you for such a satisfying read.

I have to admit that I was a bit skeptical as I’m a big Harry Potter fan but I have to say that I had a hard time putting the book down. I took it everywhere just in case I found a minute or two to read some more. Thank so much for bringing so much enjoyment from reading your book!

Thank you from both myself and the students at Glengarry School for the AWESOME presentation. The children were really into the book while it was being presented. Now it is impossible to keep the book in the library and I have a waiting list. After they read the book I get comments such as "awesome", "I couldn’t put it down", an exciting read", I can hardly wait for the second book", I want to read it again". You have captured the audience, another J.K. Rowling. Word of mouth being the best publicity you can get, it is alive and well at Glengarry. Thank you again and we hope to see you after your second book is published.

We had a great time and the children truly enjoyed you, have the book on hold many times over in the library, with the children who have read it telling the other ones “See, I told you so.” It is great!

It has been at least three months since we have had your presentation at our school and even after getting copies of the book Root Karbunkulus, we have a hard time keeping up with the demand for this book. Every student from grades 4 to 6 want to read it and are asking for a copy. I have spoken to the principal and she gave me the go ahead to order more copies of your book. I read the book some time ago and found it to be an awesome read. Once the book was started, I found it hard to put down. I can’t wait to read the next book that you are currently working on. Oh well, June is only 5 long months away.

What a great show you put on yesterday! The students couldn’t stop talking about "Root" and her team. My two copies in the library were quickly snapped up and I have holds for the next 2 weeks. Kamilla did a great jobof stirring up interest. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed her presentation and readings. Keep up the good work!

Everyone loved your presentation. The students are anxious and pumped to read your book. Some students have already returned their order form to purchase the book. The school would like to purchase 2 more books. Thanks again for fitting us into your busy schedule. It’s great to have local artists as yourself to inspire our students.

You were outstanding. Your presentations were amazing. The staff at both schools loved you. I’ve already had two literacy students come in and take your books out (they snooped and found them in my office….I was going to put them out after your presentation.) Thanks again!
