Product Description

Peter Carrot-Top is an adventure series novel that takes its readers into the land of Baja, where battles takes place between the mystical wizards of the forest and a boy by the name of Peter Carrot-Top. Peter Carrot-Top was the first ghost child to be born on earth when his parents were exiled from Baja eleven years ago. Peter developed extraordinary powers with the ability to make things disappear into a black hole. His parents tried to hide his powers and where they were originally from; but as Peter got older he started asking question about who he really was. His parents could no longer hide the fact that Peter was different from the other children, with his orange hair and extraordinary gift. Peter and his parents went to the secret forest to talk to the oracle and ask if they could enter back into Baja. Peter's parents told him of a time when the Carrot-Tops were considered royalty in Baja; of how Baja is a child's favorite place, with fields made of popcorn and plants that produce honey milk. Peter and his family were welcomed back only to learn that they had to save the world that once exiled them by battling twelve headed monsters, seven deadly wizards, and a host of mystical creatures to preserve and save the fantasy world every child should see.

1.0 out of 5 stars No Adventure for me..., May 31, 2009
Well this review is not going to be nice. Peter Carrot-top is a book that I had to force myself to finish reading. When I had originally seen this book offered on Member Giveaway it sounded interesting and I thought I'd give it a try. Unfortunately Peter Carrot-top did not capture my attention. I found the book very slow going in the beginning. I know that the beginning of books can be boring but this book was poorly written. It felt choppy to me as I was reading the book.

This book is about ghosts, wizards, good vs. evil, and the elders of Baja. Baja is going to have a war amongst the wizards and ghosts of Baja. The concept for the book is different and I feel had the potential to be a very interesting story. Yolanda Jackson does not bring forth a good story. I found many grammatical errors, words missing in sentences and just general horrendous editing.

I am glad to say that I finished the story and can be very honest that the story took a long time to really get interesting. It took until approximately chapter 18 to really get to the adventure and battles, but once again it felt drawn out and overly wordy. Once you get to the final battle and Peter needs to get the key to free the elders it is interesting and then every think works out and the story ends. As I was reading the book, a chapter would start to get interesting, then the next chapter would start and it would become monotonous.

I would not recommend this book just because I did not enjoy it. There may be someone out there that would enjoy this style of writing but I did not.

Peter Carrot-Top - In Search of the 8th Key
Oh I like being first. This book was fun. I could visualize the character's performing as I was reading. Yolanda is very creative. I hope to see more works soon.
