OF ROOT KARBUNKULUS, as she virtually tours the blogosphere in July '08 on her first

Press Release Body: Harry Potter, watch out. Join Kamilla Reid, author of the teen
fantasy, THE QUESTORY OF ROOT KARBUNKULUS, as she virtually tours the blogosphere in
July '08 on her first virtual book tour with Pump Up Your Book Promotion.

At age 29, Kamilla Reid became the youngest person to hold the position of Artistic
Director for a professional theatre company in Edmonton. During this time at
Celebrations Theatre, she honed her artistic skills by writing and directing five
shows per year. Over this ten year incumbency the position evolved and Kamilla
developed her own independent theatrical production company to which the dinner
theatre contracted out. This worked quite well with her new schedule due to the
birth of her daughter.
After forty produced plays, Kamilla felt she'd creatively done all she could within
the live theatre format and, during a period of massive change whereby she found
herself in the role of single mother, she began scrawling and plunking on the
keyboard and finally, drawing out the long held images of DréAmm and its freckled
young inhabitant Root Karbunkulus.

Currently Kamilla is working on book two of the "Questory" series. You can visit her
website at www.rootkarbunkulus.com or her blog at www.rootkarbunkulus.com/blog.

About the Book:

Young Root Karbunkulus gets an invitation to participate in \'the coolest scavenger
hunt of all time!\' Finally, her chance! She can escape the Aunts and prove once and
for all there's no stinkin' "L" on her forehead! So what if she\'s up against
hundreds of other kids. It can't be worse than murder ball. The rules say teams of
three. Okay, okay her appointed team mates, Lian and Dwyn are screws-in-the-temples
annoying...but livable...and really no worse than Goatface Kor or Hilly Punyun who,
forget the panties, has a tiara for each day of the week. More rules: Can\'t use
magic on competitors. Doh! Oh well, at this point her magic is of the non-existent
variety anyhow so.next! The first item up for grabs is the Miist of Kalliope,
apparently some dead magician\'s elixir. No prob. But wait. Out of hundreds of teams,
there are only six of these Miists to be found? Leaving only six teams left to go
after the next item? Then five, four, three, two.woah...this could get
ugly....hmmm...compete and win...or go back to exfoliating those hard, crusted
entities called Auntie Octavia\'s feet?
Root Karbunkulus accepts the invitation. It will be a race of many, many hated
things. But it will also be a contest of courage, friendship and the rising of soul.
Within it Root will learn the terrifying truth behind the mysterious items. She will
also discover, to her horror that she is not a player in an innocent kid's race but
a pawn in a vicious adult game that will readily send its champion into the
profiteering hands of the enemy.

a fun book to read. Well, my intuition was right and I loved this book!\"

\"This fantasy tale by first time author Kamilla Reid is full of fun and promise.
Certainly it is refreshing to see a fantasy novel for young people that does not
talk down to its readers, and is intelligent enough to appeal to appeal to readers
of all ages.\"
