...a Young Adults book that has been compared to The Hobbit, "but with a bite." The Wheel of Nuldoid
is an enchanting story, laced with humor and surprises, about an eleven
year old boy, his school teacher and a beautiful artist, who journey to
a spherical city at the center of the earth called Nuldoid. There they
find a city of small grumpy creatures who operated the machinery that
keeps our earth rotating.
"A delightful book, full of adventure and humor. Rarely do fantasy and humor go together, but with the author's skill, it works in The Wheel of Nuldoid." —Writers' Digest
"An entertaining and charming fantasy for young readers, The Wheel of Nuldoid is a very highly recommended pick." —The Midwest Book Review
"The intriguing plot and memorable characters make this one fantasy you won't want to put down" —Kids Bookshelf
"This book is an absolute treasure, a story that would be great fun
to read to one's children over the course of many late-night bedtime
storytelling sessions. Who knew that such delightful little creatures,
full of quarrels and bad grammar, could exist? The world beneath the surface of Earth is full of wondrous things, all detailed
with vivid awe. The story is unpredictable, which makes it that much more of an
adventure to read..." —Sacramento Book Review
"What a fantastic book. I couldn't put it
down and as soon as I turned the last page I flipped it right back to
the front and read it again. Loved it! The creatures of Nuldoid are so
original and entertaining in their behavior, outlook on life and death,
and especially their speech patterns, not to mention a great story that
there is no way this book won't become the next Harry Potter. I'm anxiously awaiting a sequel." —Chance Cresant Northridge, California
