"A truly futuristic sci-fi/fantasy tale, Saardu was written by an adult geek, for young geeks. This is not an
intellectually easy read. Children will be exposed to advanced theories about space, time, and energy,
blended with elements of magical fantasy. The unimaginative will not be able to grasp this work. It's for
dreamers. Ruby is a little girl on an adventure that is both healing, challenging and inspirational. I'm not
going to give it away, but I will say, to all of those who grew up with childrens' book series, like Narnia, or
Nancy Drew, or Trixie Beldon, or the Three Investigators, or Harry Potter, this is another spell-binding journey
in the making. This is book one. Kudos to the author, and may she bring many more tales in the saga of
Ruby and Saadu into fruition!"

"The hallmark of a wonderful myth is that it has the power to transform. Carma Dillon's story of Saardu is
accessible to both the imagination of children and adults. Children will identify with Ruby's quest to make
sense of her world, and adults will be able to ponder interesting questions regarding the nature of a multi-
dimensional reality. It will, indeed, transform the way all its readers see their world. The ability to make this
sort of speculative story entertaining and enjoyable is a real tribute to Ms. Dillon's unique talent."

| "It's a feast!" -- Professor Richard Walter, UCLA Screenwriting Chairman, wrote to the author after reading SAARDU. "For all the fun and terror and action and adventure, as in the best of fairy tales (including Star Wars, which I happen to consider as such, and I mean that as a compliment to George Lucas), you manage to engage and divert and distract in the best sense of entertainment, but at the same time you do indeed posit profound insights into the nature of the human condition, especially such issues as love and hate, turmoil and serenity, trust and doubt, and as always identity. Trish is a perfect antagonist, representing the true enemy here and everywhere: superstition. I am so proud of the work you've done here. And I rejoice to consider that I may have been able to provide support to you in this endeavor. Saardu is no small achievement." |
| "Carma strikes a great balance between Tolkien and Douglas Adams. Saardu is warm and endearing...it's Star Wars meets Narnia!" –Oliver Simonsen Creator of Captain Zap Comics Producer, Director and Writer of Cerebus Animated |
"Saardu is an out-of-this-world adventure that shouldn't be missed.
Sure to become an instant classic!"
