Description:
Praise for Richard Roberts:
"One thing Richard Roberts does so very well is create an unforgettable character. In this book, he's created a whole crew. Each is so vivid in my mind that I am able to look at the beautiful artwork of the cover and pick out each character by name." ~Laurie Laliberte
About Quite Contrary:
The secret of having an adventure is getting lost. Who ever visited an enchanted kingdom or fell into a fairy tale without wandering into the woods first?
Well, Mary is lost. Mary is lost in the story of Little Red Riding Hood, and that is a cruel and murderous story. She's put on the red hood and met the Wolf. When she gives in to her Wolf's temptations, she will die. That's how the story goes, after all.
Unfortunately for the story and unfortunately for the Wolf, this Little Red Riding Hood is Mary Stuart, and she is the most stubborn and contrary twelve year old the world has ever known.
Forget the Wolf's temptations, forget the advice of the talking rat trying to save her - she will kick her way through every myth and fairy tale ever told until she finds a way to get out of this alive. Her own way, and no one else's.
Review
"Another brilliant part of the novel is the inner monologue that goes through the main characters head. She's not the normal stereotypical heroine that kicks ass but nor is she a meek 'oh please save' me style character either. She's a grumpy, sometimes sullen young girl who is equal part cynical and brave along with moments of massive self doubt. Roberts really has done a superb job of creating a character that is both fully fleshed out as well as feeling realistic, which for a fantasy novel is quite an achievement." - Patrick Challis, 'Curiosity of a Social Misfit' review blog
