Children's Literature - Stephanie Guerra

When Cam is unceremoniously replaced as wizard's apprentice by an arrogant seven-year-old, he knows it's time to seek his fortune and his past. Raised in the royal castle since birth, Cam has no idea where he came from, who his parents are, or what destiny awaits him. To find out, he must go to the realm of Outer Earth, a parallel world that readers will recognize as twenty-first century America. Meanwhile, Princess Quinn, with whom Cam is hopelessly in love, is being forced into a corner: she must choose a husband at the upcoming ball or her father will choose for her. Quinn is determined to find a way out of her predicament that doesn't involve marrying one of her awful suitors. This is the story of Cam's and Quinn's paths—how they tangle, how they meet, and how each finds the future for which they've been looking. The best aspect of this story is the interplay between Inner Earth and Outer Earth characters. Regan captures the gaze of a newcomer to the contemporary world with humorous authenticity, capitalizing on the potential for funny medieval-meets-modern moments. Otherwise, her writing tends towards the fluffy and contrived. There are far too many instances of deus ex machina, where plot problems are magically resolved with little to no effort on the part of the characters.

Pure fun fantasy!

This is the sequel to Princess Nevermore, and I've loved that story for a long time. I couldn't wait to read the sequel and Cam's Quest is just as wonderful as Princess Nevermore. I could not put it down. It is a real page turner. I recommend this book for all age groups. Cam's Quest picks up right where Princess Nevermore left off. Cam who is unsure of his heritage has always wondered who he is. His chance comes as he is replaced by someone else as Melikar's apprentice. This leaves Cam free to find out who he is. The only problem is that this journey is going to take him from Quinn once again. So just who is Cam of Mandria? This book is a must read and it is wonderful. The 2007 updated and expanded edition of Princess Nevermore is a wonderful choice to go along with this book, as some of the characters that are introduced in PN have more roles to play in Cam's Quest.
