[.ca] Celandine (ISBN 038575048X)

It just keeps getting better!!!:
When I started "The Various" (on the recommendation of a friend), I was a bit skeptical. Let's face it, there comes an age in MOST people's lives when fairies just don't make for interesting reading material anymore. That is until Steve Augarde took up their cause. After the first 50 pages of "The Various" I was hooked. And by the end of the book, I was dying to know what happened next. Well, rest assured; Augarde has done it again! "Celandine" is even MORE captivating than "The Various" (which I didn't think possible).This owes very much to the strength of Celandine herself. While I admired Midge's tenacity, Celandine's had me laughing out loud. Part historical fiction, part fairy story and - yes - part "The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie" (much of the book takes place in a girls' school), this book will keep your eyeballs busy! But be warned: the third book has not yet been written, so be certain that you can survive the wait. I read "Celandine" over a year ago, and I'm almost a nervous wreck in anticipation of the final installment! Bravo, Mr. Augarde.
