“I found it incredibly entertaining and loved all the magic. Along with the magic there is so much more. I found this story so empowering for young girls and there are so many important lessons taught a long the way. Topics such as death, bullying, the female cycle, how to remain present, learning not to respond emotionally and so many more important life skills are covered. This book provides instructions for life wrapped up in such an entertaining and magical story. I am a Mother to four daughters and even though not one of them is an Oracle I see each of them in Orabella. I really love the character Orabella because even though she was part of something very magical she is still just a regular girl with the same emotions and challenges as all of us.” Cathy – Mom to 4 GenZ Daughters

“I absolutely loved this story. It had me yearning for the next chapter. I could not wait to find out what was going to happen. A true adventure that keeps you clinging to the next words. Even thought I was waiting to see what would happen, every time something new would happen it would not disappoint. It reminded me of a cross between Charmed, Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure and The Wizard of OZ combines, but all new and fresh. I am an avid reader and I highly recommend this book” Ava Bianchi Age 13- Actress
