“Calgary
writer Simon Rose is back with The Emerald Curse, his strongest middle-grade
novel yet … Fast-paced and well-plotted, elementary students are sure to love
it.”
The Calgary Herald
“This fourth
book by Simon Rose is as good and fast paced a read as his first three. Page
turning tension with a resourceful and intrepid hero … and sure to please any
child who likes fantasy, science fiction and comics.”
Smartwriters
“Rose has
very carefully crafted his book to imitate the surrealist feel of comic books …
With fantastic creatures, a damsel in distress and solid action, this book will
especially appeal to young males.”
University of Manitoba CM Magazine
“This
fantasy adventure with its use of comic-book themes and characters will entice
a reader who enjoys larger-than-life villains and mighty clashes between good
and evil. There is plenty of tension and suspense in the plot as well as
creative descriptions of the incredible characters that inhabit the fantasy
world. The illustrations are dark and complement the sinister atmosphere of a
world where evil forces have taken charge. The Emerald Curse is a very well
written and appealing adventure book. Highly recommended.”
