Skoodle is amazing. The story was well written and fun, with just the right amount of tension. I know some people who will love this book!

Alex, his pet hamster Skoodles, Zorrin the wizard, Tariq the bear, Flick Zorrin sister, Ikara the snake and Keeko the monkey, were on a mission to find Alex’s parents who are caught in another time zone. Their journey also became one of a rescue mission along the way, when it was quickly realized a couple of Zorrin wizard friends, a husband and wife team were killed by gargoyles who then kidnapped their son Luke, rescuing Luke was now the priority, or else he too would be killed. Ikara and Tariq are a very slick duo, I love how they worked over Byloc, their workmanship is quite hilarious, making this book a very entertaining one. The group faced a battle filled with many dangerous mishaps along the way some with fatal consequences, but with their quick thinking and magic, a very exciting and magical adventure was on the way, nicely done.

She has great characters, knows how to write realistic dialogue and smoothe story lines that make sense from page one to the end. It's just a great story that parents can give to their kids and not worry about what they're reading.
