   Letter from the Editor


Dear Librarian:

Calling all fantasy fans regardless of your age! From the land down under comes one of the strongest fantasy novels with the same young adult/adult crossover appeal as Philip Pullman. Alison Goodman’s Eon is a gem of a read with impressive dragon scenes, sword fights and Machiavellian plots galore.

However, Eon distinguishes itself from other dragon-themed high fantasy novels with its rich and startling setting: a world and mythology based on that of ancient China. Here is what Publishers Weekly has to say:

“Goodman's characters hold built-in appeal for fans of Tamora Pierce (particularly of her Song of the Lioness Quartet), but they go further than Pierce's in staking out their sexuality; the author's plotting is elaborate, smart and capable of taking the audience by surprise. Enthralled readers will be hard-pressed to wait for the story's second half, Eona:The Last Dragoneye, scheduled for 2010. Ages 12-up.”

If you are looking for that page-turning novel (or CD flipping audiobook?) for a long winter’s night, look no further. And check out www.eonbook.com where you can hear the entire first chapter (available December 15th) of the novel along with an interview with the author.

Happy listening!
Tim Ditlow
