'BEYOND EXCELLENT ' says Dave Broughton of The American Chronicle,
'Ms. King has written a brilliant book, The Life in the Wood with
Joni- Pip that can stand beside the likes of Catcher in the Rye,
The Old Man and the Sea, or On Walden Pond and not shrink in
importance: yet it can be next to Winnie the Pooh, Alice in
Wonderland, Huckleberry Finn, Treasure Island or Harry Potter and
seem right at home. Joni Pip is a must for any library and for
those who know and love quality writing. Augmented with drawings
and asides to the reader, Joni Pip is indeed, beyond excellent. Ms.
King can and does craft her writing in a spellbinding way. You
won't want to put the book down, so be sure you have a good block
of time to hide away from the real world to step into the wild,
wonderful world of Joni-Pip. Most reviewers tell you the basic
story in brief. I'm not going to do that here; there's just no way
to do this beautifully written piece of work justice in a few
sentences. Want to know the Secret of the Stars? Want to understand
the Orbit of Life and other secrets of the Universe? You'll just
have to get The Life in the Wood with Joni-Pip and read it for
yourself; then swear to keep them secret ' Christy Tillery French
of The Midwest Book Review says, 'I especially find it hard to
write reviews when the book is just extraordinary and I want to
convey how much I like it. I always struggle to do so. I hope I
have relayed this with this fabulous book. Joni-Pip lived a
pampered life with her family in Bath, England until the bombings
of World War II forced them to escape to Knotty Knook, their
cottage in Windy Woods on the outskirts of Sherwood Forest. On
their journey, and unaware they will play an important part in her
life, Joni-Pip meets three young strangers who briefly speak to her
and then disappear. It's hard to attribute any one Genre to this
wonderful book. It offers readers everything they could ask for:
time-travel, action and adventure, suspense, mystery, science
fiction, and bits of history. Carrie King's poetic, imaginative
prose delivers a delightful book for all readers, no matter the
age. Her creative imagination, the gorgeous illustrations and
magical story are enthralling. Filled with enchanting characters
(animals and human alike), humor and a heart warming tale involving
friendship, family, and a quest for a better future, this first
book in The Circles Trilogy is sure to garner many fans. Readers
(including this reviewer), will be anxious to read the next two
books in the series. Certainly, the Literary Field needs more
writers like the talented Carrie King who takes her readers on a
fascinating journey as she opens their minds to the extraordinary
while delivering a very important message. Here's hoping this
fantastic book finds its place in libraries, classrooms and
children's homes across the world.' Australian Reviewer, Mandy de
Jager says, 'A story the whole family will enjoy, full of endearing
characters that will claim a little piece of your heart.
Adventureful Delightful Memorable The Life in The Wood with
Joni-Pip is an adventure of jumping in time, changing bad pasts
into better futures, discovering that friends and family are truly
important and being grateful for the life we have. Joni-Pip and her
family move to Berry Bush on the edge of Sherwood Forest after the
bombing of Bath, England in 1942. During the novel, World War II is
ever-present, grounding the reader's thoughts, reminding us that
this story, although fiction, does have serious issues at its
heart. When Joni-Pip and her family move she thinks the world has
ended. Joni-Pip could not possibly imagine a Quission with talking
animals was ready to teach her about life and bring new friends to
her world, providing her with a spectacularly adventurous journey
that would change her life forever '
