Book Review Wednesday - The Song of the Quarkbeast

In the first installment of the Chronicles of Kazam, The Last Dragonslayer,  readers were introduced to Jennifer Strange, the acting manager of the Kazam magic company in a world where magic was fading.  But with the fulfillment of her fate at the end of  book one, magic is once again on the rise in the Ununited Kingdom. This second book, The Song of the Quarkbeast, maintains the same wit, silliness, and character strength as the first and Jennifer is once again battling the struggle of good versus evil. The Kingdom of Snodd and Industrial Magic are aiming to control magic to increase their wealth while Jennifer and her crew of misfit wizards and sorcerers are hoping to maintain the integrity of magic. A simple bridge building contest is meant to settle it all. Can Jennifer survive the strength of a greedy king and his corrupt court? Can her staff of sorcerers overcome the odds? Can magic carpets really fly at supersonic speeds? The answers to these questions and more are revealed in Jasper Fforde’s The Song of the Quarkbeast. For more magical and zany fun about the Chronicles of Kazam checkout the author's webpage here.
