About the author

K. S. Fish was born in San Diego, California. For much of his life he was determined to make every possible bad choice there was to make.
Though called to do great work, he ran, becoming a horrible husband (three times over), a non-existent father, a drug addict (heroin, weed, coke and meth), a thief, a con man, and finally a murderer.
Through the miracle of God’s grace he was given a new heart and is now a born again Christian, and a writer some have called “a creative genius.”
Fish’s work has been called compelling, dark, disturbing, thought provoking and inspirational. Attempting to bridge the gap between “secular” fiction and standard inspirational fiction, he shows the world as it is, ugliness and all, and takes you to where it could be.
The third and final book in his series The Dominion Chronicles is set to be released in 2015. For the younger crowd, check out his delightful Emily Funderbunk books: Turtle Soup and The First is the Worst.

I love love love this book. I think the Emily Funderbunk series will be a household name in a few years. K.S. Fish has proven that he can write for children with the same quailty and brilliance he brings in his adult novels.

I actually read this book quite awhile ago and initially gave it a lower ranking than I have decided to rate it. I fought with a few rhythm issues, not feeling it flowed smoothly from the lips as I read the book aloud to my nephew. Yes, I test out children's books on my nephews, and they love it. I love getting to read to kids. Upon reading the book again, I found that the flow had smoothed out and I found the tale of Emily and the conniving turtles very delightful. The illustrations only make the book better, James Cotterman brings Emily's story to life with vibrant art that attracts both the young eye and the older eye. Together Fish and Cotterman have created the start to a series I look forward to reading more of in the near future.

Author K.S. Fish proves that not all authors are set to specific genres. Turtle Soup not only entertains the reader but can also help younger readers learn. Emily Funderbunk is an engaging character, easily loved throughout the book. This book was read by everyone in my household. It was also taken to school by my 1st grade daughter. The book was read in her classroom and loved by all of the children and the teacher. Once the book has been re-read a few times at home, it is being donated to my daughter's school library for future students to read, enjoy and learn.
