Editorial Reviews

In a time of kings, queens and magic. Meryl is a teenage orphaned who is inspired by Celtic folklore and aspires to become a bard telling stories and making music the way her mother had been before her. Unfortunately, she becomes involved in breaking the rules causing her suspension from her bardic studies. Undaunted and convinced that she can still achieve her ambition, she heads off in a quest to find the mythical Avalon. Along the way Meryl is challenged by unexpected events and an unusual cast of characters both human and fantastical. A Riddle Of Roses is a superb fantasy novel written for young readers ages 10 to 14 and very highly recommended for both school and community libraries.
