More About This Book

Editorial Reviews

VOYA
Awakening Curry Buckle is a very odd but fun read. The author writes as though the book is from pre-1950s, which made some parts a little bit aggravating to get through, but it also gives this book a very original air to it. I would definitely recommend reading it sandwiched in-between two other books, because it won't take long to finish. VOYA CODES: 3Q 3P M J (Readable without serious defects; Will appeal with pushing; Middle School, defined as grades 6 to 8; Junior High, defined as grades 7 to 9). 2005, Blue Works/Orchard Creative Group, 336p., Trade pb. Ages 11 to 15.

    Doing Right and Fitting In

    A novel for the 'young in mind' who aren't afraid to entertain new ideas: that there are different states of consciousness that we can rehabilitate our wounded egos that financial success is not the guarantor of happiness or fulfillment. The main characters are two teenage boys who are learning to embrace their own identities, to examine the strengths and weaknesses of their upbringings, and for Darwin Bownes, to be a true friend. All of this is accomplished in a breathtaking mystery/detective story of psychic abililites, corrupt loal politics, including the school principal, and wrassling with some pretty deep issues of following the course your life has set out for you. A skillful, profound, yet entertaining take on what it means to be a young adult today and always.

    Mystic Magic on an Antic Island

    Who ever had a school pal like Curry Buckle? Darwin Bownes, newcomer to Kluge Island, is so blessed. You'd have to look at Rowling's fabled Hogwarts for comparative chums, but Awakening Curry Buckle by Michael Donnelly stands firmly on its own two left feet. Geared to young adults, this book may be most appreciated by we who have kicked around on this world long enough to know some qualities select folk possess defy rational explanation. Curry Buckle, likely the reincarnation of an Asian swami, in his everyday incarnation appears to be a humble, bumbling teen-ager. He's part of an eccentric family named for containers on a spice rack, and many of them help season the fictive stew. Yet, when Curry falls into a trance while repeating an incantation and Darwin beats a magic drum, inexplicable wonders occur. Fun from first page to last, you will deeply resent having to put it down to tend daily chores. One who climbs aboard Curry's train will enjoy the ride, the riders and the peculiar sights seen along the way including death, hidden treasure, family secrets and strange history. Byron L. Sacre

    Spellbinding

    I found the characters so realistic and age appropriate. It truly is a book for all ages. I have given it as a gift to a number of middle age school kids and they really enjoyed it. I can't wait for Mike Donnelly's next book.

    Swami Curryban and You

    Michael Donnelley's new book, Awakening Curry Buckle, (Blue Works Publishing) hurtles the reader on a madcap dash across the difficult and uncertain terrain between children's and adult literature. Seldom is a book produced that can be read and enjoyed equally by youngsters from nine to ninety. In his second novel, Donnelly accomplishes this feat by withholding preachy life lessons, political correctness and conventional moralizing. The reader must only fasten his seat belt and turn the pages to fly along with Darwin Bownes and his buddy, Curry Buckle while they transform quiet Kluge Island into a wonderland of intrigue and adventure. Remember when the notion of buried treasure, dangerous midnight rendezvous, hexes, spells, murder and magic stirred your blood and set your heart racing? Toss in a few belly laughs, set the stage in the Pacific Northwest, and in Awakening Curry Buckle, you get all that and more. Donnelly's crisp, lean prose is the perfect vehicle for his razor sharp wit and flannel-shirted savoir faire, and his sense of the absurd delights and surprises at every turn. Pick up a copy of Awakening Curry Buckle for your niece or nephew, and then throw a second in the bag for yourself. William Schroder Author, Cousins of Color
