Sdrawkcab
Nothing interesting ever happens to Lina Lombardo. That is, until she meets Professor Alfonso and enters a magical universe with mermaids, angels, pixies, elves, dwarves, gnomes, leprechauns, unicorns, winged horses, talking animals, giant bugs, arachnids, oversized lizards, fire breathing dragons, trolls, goblins, ghouls, vampires, werewolves, ogres, and other so-called unreal creatures.
The universe of Sdrawkcab, divided into a dark side and a bright side, is ruled by two queens: one evil and one good. The bright queen’s crown stones have been stolen to weaken her. The dark queen has hidden all twelve magical stones within her side of the universe and her most vicious creatures guard them.
With the help of Professor Alfonso and some new friends, Lina embarks on a dangerous journey to find the magic stones and restore them to the bright queen to save Sdrawkcab from permanent darkness, which will eventually lead to the human universe’s destruction.

About the author
Chantal Bellehumeur
64 books83 followersI am a multi-genre author who always loved to write but never thought about publishing anything until a friend of mine told me I should.
Before that, I was more interested in acting. I performed in a couple of amateur stage showed and joined a Youth run Theatre Company. I was also an extra in a few commercials, TV shows and movies.
My love for acting soon got replaced with the love for my son. I made him my number one priority. I found it easier to write on my spare time than to work around other people's schedules to act. I found that I had to use some of my acting training to write since I had to put myself in the shoes of the characters I created.
I currently have 19 books available to purchase on Amazon. Some of my work (short stories, memoirs and poems) was also featured in online magazines as well as anthologies. I also wrote articles for a local newspaper.

I loved the story. It would be really cool if they made a 3D movie. (Not computer animated or cartoon, but with real people.)

Our heroine, Lina, is an ordinary girl who longs for more adventure in her life. She doesn't have to wait long before she finds herself entwined in a magical land with her university professor.
Lina and the Professor go on a fantastic journey together into the magical land of Sdrawkcab. Everything in this land is not what it seems. In fact, everything is strange and usual. There is a good side where the sun shines and the land is rich and beautiful. There is also a dark side where the bad queen is trying to bring down the good queen, known as the Bright Queen.
The pair need to save the Queen by collecting the magical stones that were stolen from her crown by the dark queen. She hid them all over the dark land in the most dangerous of places. Lina and the Professor, with the help of flying horses and elves, have to face giant spider webs, roaring volcanoes, vampires and that's just to name a few . There's even one hidden in the eye of a giant Cyclops.
The book is fast moving and is loaded with details that any young reader will enjoy. To discover the missing stones they have to battle trolls, mud monsters, zombies, vampires, sea monsters and a whole lot more. They even have to battle a carnivorous T Rex but are helped by gentle herbivore dinosaurs.
There are many plot twists which will keep any reader hooked. Lina finds herself in a coma at one point and the Professor is turned into a werewolf. Also just when Lina is ready to deliver all the magic stones to the Bright Queen the Dark Shadow kidnaps the Professor and will only release him if Lina gives him the stones.
I particularly liked the elves and the two headed lions. This is a fast moving story that many young readers will appreciate and fall in love with. It contains all the elements of fantasy that they are familiar with but these are embellished with ideas that add to the uniqueness of this book.

Are you ready to enter into another universe? A place full of magical creatures, such as angels, elves, unicorns, talking animals and pixies. Lina was, though she didn’t know what was waiting for her when she entered Professor Alfonso’s home. But when Professor leads her to a world called Sdrawkcab and asks Lina’s help to save the bright queen’s world she accepts the challenge without a hesitation.
This story has everything a kid could hope for. Creatures beyond your imagination, battle between the dark and the bright and a secret place that no one in the real world knows exists. Well, no one except Professor Alfonso and Lina. I wonder why Pixar hasn’t picked this one yet as this story would be perfect as a movie, too. So, if you have kids say age 9 and up, do them a favor and get this book for them. They’ll thank you later!

A Most Amazing Fantasy Adventure
First, the unusual title is the word backwards, written backwards. I will not explain that further as it is a key part of the story. An elderly professor and a young student of his named Lina find a portal to another world that the professor has previously discovered and passed through. This is not luck but predestination. This other world has been divided by two competing queens, one evil and one good, into the dark side and the bright side. The story involves the tussle between these two queens for the supremacy of their world. The author has crafted an absolutely amazing fantasy adventure here that will leave all readers in awe of her creativity. Do not miss this one!

Sdrawkcab tells the fantastic story of a college student and her professor who travel into a magical world in which this book is named. There they run into all sorts of monsters and mythological creatures. Overall I enjoyed reading this and look forward to more from this author.

For some reason this book magically disappeared from my page...
I am re-writing that I can not write a review because I am the author. BUT, I wrote it for my pre-teen son and he really enjoyed it. He told me I should turn it into a movie. =)
