Zorgamazoo




By: Robert Paul Weston
Review by: Erika

"Here is a story that is a story
that’s stranger than strange.
Before we begin you may want to arrange:
a blanket,
a cushion,
a comfortable seat,
and maybe some cocoa and something to eat.

I’ll warn you, of course, before we commence,
my story is eerie and full of suspense,
brimming with danger and narrow escapes,
and creatures of many remarkable shapes.
Dragons and ogres and gorgons and more,
and creatures you’ve not even heard of before.
And faraway places? There’s plenty of those!
(And menacing villains to tingle your toes.)

So ready your mettle and steady your heart.
It’s time for my story’s mysterious start…"

This is a amazing book,
and if that quote wasn't a good enough hook,
here is another thing that will make you think.
This book is fill to the brink,
with adventures and creature galore,
and jokes that will make you roll on the floor.

I love this book with all my heart,
for there is a little girl at the start.
This girl is a lot like me,
seeking adventure and has lots of places she wants to see.
She has a horrible guardian that wants to change,
her nice little brain into something strange.

Then this girl, her name is Katrina Karwell,
meets a guy who's real swell.
He hates adventures of any sort,
and if he had a choice, he would hide in a fort.
But, this is what he has to do,
he has to find all of the Zorgles of Zorgamzoo!

This book is a fast-moving ride,
in having read, I take much pride.
With multiple points of view,
this book will be all the more interesting for you.

So I hope you will read this,
for this is a book you don't want to miss.
You can pick it up a local library,
or get from Amazon directly.

  2. Wow! I was surprised to discover that I love this book with all of my heart too! I laughed, I cried, I was swept away with Katrina's rhyming adventures. Tedium steam, enchantium gas and graybalons on Parliament Hill?!! This book is the BEST!

  3. "yet this gloomy deduction was only the start,
    she knew it was only the tiniest part;
    just a droplet of truth in an ocean of doubt,
    and so, other questions were starting to sprout."


    Love it!! This guy is amazing!!
