New Review for Boy

A nice review for The Boy from Ilysies was posted by ssjakira1 on epinions. She said:

"I knew her imagination rocked - I just didn't realize that it rocked this hard.

It's because of that I think these books would be ideal for Hayao Miyazaki films, if you've ever seen some of his movies.  They remind me of Nausicaa and the Castle in the Sky, they really do.  In fact, I'm tempted to write Miyazaki and tell him these would make for sweet films."

You go for it hon!

The Libyrinth Series by Pearl North

Recent Posts

About the Author:

  • I write science fiction novels for young people and others who still dream. Feel free to contact me at pearlnorth@gmail.com, I'd love to hear from you.

On Libyrinth:

  • "With Libyrinth, I started out writing a book about censorship, and wound up writing a book about peace. During the time that I wrote it, two things happened which shaped the course of the story. One is that our country invaded Iraq, and the other is that I became a Buddhist. The central character, Haly, starts out in a place where she believes she knows who is good and who is bad. Over the course of the story, she learns to abandon those assumptions. The interconnections between censorship, violence and the power of imagination run throughout Libyrinth. The ability of words to make one person's experience immediate and real to someone else is a powerful tool for survival in a world where ultimately, we must depend upon each other." ---- Pearl North
