Delicious mystery for adults with a precocious poison-loving 11-year-old heroine (could also be read by older children).

I had mixed feelings about this novel. I thought it was very well written, but the underlying tension made it difficult for me to read, and I didn't like the ending even if it was inevitable (this is more a comment on my personal reading preference than a criticism of the book)

Joss Whedon

a visually refreshing female "comic book" heroine (a kind of reluctant Buffy the Vampire Slayer of the future). I really love how the illustrator communicates so much narrative in a single image or two (I'm getting more and more intrigued by graphic novels in general).

I enjoyed the story (and was pleasantly surprised by the north-west coast setting -- though it does make sense, given the sunlight thing). Bella's self-deprecation and constant praise of Edward's looks got a bit tiring, though.

I am way overdue for a post here! So much has been going on in my life, it's hard to keep up with social networks (when I do try to keep up, I end up not getting any writing done). I have a new chapter book out for kids ages 6-8. It's about a girl and her grandmother, a Japanese bakery, and a missing Maneki Neko (beckoning lucky cat statue). Here's a link to book launch activities and my blog tour:

Alan Bradley says:

Hi, Jacquie,

I'm glad to hear that you enjoyed the audiobook of "Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie".
The next book in the series, "The Weed That Strings the Hangman's Bag" will be published in March, 2010. If you Google it, you'll find the book's cover and synopsis on the internet.

With best wishes,

Alan
Alan Bradley says:

Hi, Jacqueline. Thanks for your lovely e-mail. I'm happy to be your friend.
The audiobook comes out on April 28th.
Meanwhile, I'll be doing a reading/signing hosted by 32 Books in North Vancouver on February 26th. The actual event is at The Silk Purse, on Argyle.
Joseph Campbell's "Follow Your Bliss" is my favourite quote, too, as well as his remark about having your ladder against the right wall.
Cheers!
Alan
