RAIRARUBIA, Book 1 in the award winning, on-going fantasy-adventure series, The Rairarubia Tales, now comes in a new Second Edition. This is the book that begins eleven-year-old Molly Doogan's adventures in a mysterious, timeless land called Rairarubia.
An absolutely wonderfully written fantasy for all readers by a truly engaging writer! When Molly Doogan asks her father to tell her a story just to pass the time while they were waiting for her mother (a doctor), they combine their imaginations to create a wonderful story. As Molly and her father develop the story, unexplainable things begin happening. The story they created begins to slip into Molly's real life. The adventures they create for their characters are strong models for all kids (and adults too). This is a timeless story and one which I'm looking forward to continuing in the next book.
An excellent book

I picked up Rairarubia browsing through a bookstore one day and after reading just a couple pages I was hooked. This is a brilliant children's novel, captivating and exciting. I can't wait to start reading the next one.
A Gem of a Book

Rairarubia is one of those rare books that is equally loved by boys and girls. Every one of my students could relate to Molly's amazing adventure, the colorful characters, the puzzling riddles, the magic. This book is a gem, delivering its story with humor and suspense. The ending demands a sequel- now!
My Favorite Book So far

This book kept my attention the whole time I was reading. I couldn't put it down. I love the way there is a story within a story. Romey, the main character in the story within the story, is brave, independent, and smart. She can do anything boys can do. I'm reading the second book, Return to Rairarubia, and it's maybe even better.
