Puns, fairy
tales and snark, oh my!
Spelled is a
laugh-out-loud romp through Oz with new and unique characters and new twists on
old ones. Schow has cleverly intertwined several Oz characters from The Wonderful
Wizard of Oz (Dorothy, Tin Man, Scarecrow) and The Marvelous Land of Oz (Mombi) with the classic fairy tales of Jacob
and Wilhelm Grimm. She includes modern pop culture references with fantasy
names like Glitter, instead of Twitter, UPS Service -United Pegasus Service,
and Hans Christian Louboutin designer heels.
Dorthea, the
Emerald Princess, goes on an adventure seeking to put the order of magic that
she unwittingly changed by a selfish wish, back to normal. No one ever heard of
an Emerald princess with green fire for hair marrying a chimera. And no Emerald
princess ever had a smart-mouthed handmaiden, who was filled with more fear
than friendship, causing her betrayal. But Dorthea, Rexi, and Kato make this fast-paced, magical adventure a
story the reader will not quickly forget. Kudos for humor and magic.
