The Bookania Quests: Book 1: Sew, it's a Quest

    I found this book at my local library, yesterday. It's a delightful read, I found it hard to put down. The writing style sometimes surprised me with a sudden breakout into a spoken style, I guess this is in part because the writer is 16. 16? Wow! The story is a kind of mixture of several fairy tales but with lots of twists, so it's hard to predict. The ending itself? While most things resolved, there was one major thread left dangling. Will there be another book?

    In general this book reminds me of the flavour of that wonderful fairy tale book: James Thurber's The White Deer. It too is a modern fairy tale with lots of twists.

    Robin and Robert are royal twins. They are the only two to have received a Fairy Godmother gift in nearly a century, an amazing honor. Soon it was clear that their gifts had been switched and a search began to find the Fairy Godmother to right the mistake. When she is finally sighted by a knight, the family learns that the pair must find her for themselves and they only have until their 18th birthday ... only 4 months away. Will they be able to find her in time?

    Kendra E. Ardnek has been writing her own stories since she was a toddler. She fell in love with books, drama, and fairy tales at a very young age - and has been filling notebooks with her stories for years. Joining NaNoWriMo gave her an opportunity to be a published author at 16.

    She writes her blog, homeschools, cooks, knits, and crafts when she isn't writing stories and acting them out with her younger cousins and siblings.
