Random Magic ReviewAfter misplacing Alice from the pages of Alice in Wonderland, Henry is sent off by Professor Random into the pages of another book to find her. Henry lands in the story, forgetting his compass, and now having no way to get back. Upon arrival, he meets Winnie Flapjack, a doodle-witch who agrees to help him on his quest to find Alice.
Together the pair search high and low, encounter strange creatures in forests, seek help by vampires, face a group of pirates, and challenge a furious red queen, to find Alice. Will they be able to find her before the sand in the hourglass runs out and save the world by tea time?
Winnie is definitely my favorite character of the many presented in Random Magic. She is brave, determined, witty, and always one step ahead of everything, no matter how confusing her reasoning may be. I wish I could spend a day in Winnie's thoughts and see the world as she does. Henry came in close second for me; he was an interesting character and I truly enjoyed watching him grow as a character, evolving from a scarred and shy little boy into a courageous young man.
My favorite elements of the story are the vividly described settings and the brilliant way Sasha Soren integrates characters from other stories and myths into Random Magic. I appreciate the whole concept of incorporating Alice from Alice in Wonderland without it actually having the same storyline or a remake of the story. I enjoyed seeing Alice being presented in a different light instead of the fairy-tale we are all used to. Random Magic follows Henry and Winnie's adventure in finding Alice, where Alice is more of a secondary character who finds herself in a different book than where she belongs.
Sasha Soren is a wonderful story teller that has a unique writing style. She created a magical world, enchanting, imaginative and filled with fun and adventure. Her readers will feel as though they are taken along for the ride, side by side with Henry and Winnie throughout their journey. Sasha Soren's novel is wonderfully random and captivating, which stays true to the title of Random Magic.
After reading this novel, I can undoubtedly say that I believe in Random Magic. I would definitely recommend Random Magic to anyone who enjoys Young Adult fiction, with lots of fun, magic, and adventure.5/5 - Must Read!!! Loved it!!!
Random Magic OverviewRandom Magic: It's a lot like our world, only...completely different.When absent-minded Professor Random misplaces the main character from “Alice in Wonderland," young Henry Witherspoon must book-jump to fetch Alice before chaos theory kicks in and the world vanishes.Along the way he meets Winnie Flapjack, a wit-cracking doodle witch with nothing to her name but a magic feather and a plan. Such as it is.Henry and Winnie brave the Dark Queen, whatwolves, pirates, Strüths, and fluttersmoths, Priscilla and Charybdis, obnoxiously cheerful vampires, Baron Samedi, a nine-dimensional cat, and one perpetually inebriated Muse to rescue Alice and save the world by tea time.Darkly comic (“The Addams Family", "The Princess Bride," “Kind Hearts and Coronets") literary tale for intelligent readers; adults and in-betweens.Best for: Anyone with a sweet tooth for the eerily fantastic, book lovers, people who read in the bathtub, snuggled up in a favorite comfy chair, on trains, in tea rooms and under trees. Or Britcom addicts, closet romantics, deep thinkers who need a little light reading, and fun folks who just love a good story.But also recommended for: Anyone who's had a rough day and longs for the great escape, anyone who's ever read and loved Alice in Wonderland, everyone who believes in everyday magic (or the other kind), smart folks, kind folks, and folks who prefer their -- rather offbeat -- humor black as coal.Advance reader pre-release reviews:* “Brilliant! Roald Dahl meets Hayao Miyazaki"* “Alice in Wonderland meets Monty Python!"* “In [the] line of Pratchett or Adams"* “A delightful chase to locate Alice"* “Great dialogue"* “LOVED it"* “It's Lewis Carroll and Roald Dahl and Monty Python and...it all works!"* “Zany, off-the-wall laugh riot"* “Inventive and fun"* “Vastly entertaining"* “Tomorrow's classic, today"* “Sly dialogue'exquisite punning"* “Fun dialogue banter, constantly turning words on their head to make sense of the non-sensical. And the imagination involved in the scenery and the wild characters strewn throughout Henry's journey are top notch, if perhaps drug induced"* “Amazing gift for dialogue, especially comedic dialogue"* “Wildly and wonderfully imaginative"* “Lots of fun"* “Quirky escape for children and parents"* “Extremely creative"* “Keeps building into funny, twisted nonsense!"* “An original spin on mythology, folklore, and fairy tales"* “The right director could have a field day with this"* "Thoroughly enchanting" ...and “madly in love w/this story."How it all began (First page):Prologue: In Which An Earl Vanishes, And Crumpets Appear“You can't declare anyone mad if they're merely invisible."It's been noted, of course, that quite interesting things happen on dark and stormy nights, particularly in castles.If you've a moment, perhaps you'd like to play a round of 'let's imagine.' You do have a fresh pot of tea handy, don't you? You don't? We'll wait. Go on, then. Right. Comfy? Well, now, let's imagine'It's been the end of a long, hideous day. London is so trying. So noisy. So full of'of'too much of every sort of something.Lying on the couch, feeling completely out of sorts, you moan to the walls or anyone who happens to be passing that you'd trade your very soul for a teensy smidgeon of peace and quiet. Lo and behold, a rather lovely invitation arrives just at that moment, on a silver salver; a charming scrawl on impressively heavy linen cardstock, embossed with the family crest:Baron and Baroness Such-and-So request the pleasure of your company'Your presence, it appears, is in hot demand at a luxurious weekend soirée in the English countryside.Of course, you go...
