Excerpt Trish enlarged the image of Ruby's brain and gasped. "How serious is it?" Admin 867F2 asked. (We'll call her F2, so you don't have read all those numbers repeatedly, and you won't have to remember too many names.) F2 rose from her station and joined Trish at the conference table. She frowned at what she saw. The other eight Admins left their stations and gathered around the conference table. Trish pointed at Ruby's frontal lobe. It was undivided! She enlarged a gene strand on Ruby's DNA map, and then activated the same gene strand on her parents' maps. "This family is a nightmare," she lamented. At that moment, the door dissolved and two Medics escorted Ruby into the Alcove. Ruby glimpsed the medical records before Trish deactivated the touchscreen. Ruby looked at Trish with suspicion. She felt hot.

Great balance between Tolkien and Douglas Adams
Saardu is warm and endearing--it's Star Wars meets Narnia! Carma strikes a great balance between Tolkien and Douglas Adams.

A must for every child's holiday gift basket!
A truly futuristic sci-fi/fantasy tale, Saardu was written by an adult geek, for young geeks. This is not an intellectually easy read. Children will be exposed to advanced theories about space, time, and energy, blended with elements of magical fantasy. The unimaginative will not be able to grasp this work. It's for dreamers. Ruby is a little girl on an adventure that is both healing, challenging and inspirational. I'm not going to give it away, but I will say, to all of those who grew up with childrens' book series, like Narnia, or Nancy Drew, or Trixie Beldon, or the Three Investigators, or Harry Potter, this is another spell-binding journey in the making. This is book one. Kudos to the author, and may she bring many more tales in the saga of Ruby and Saardu into fruition!
