It's Time, Cassandra Klein

Cassandra Klein #1

by Karen Brooks

When Cassandra receives an exceedingly ugly necklace for her birthday from her long-lost mother she is reluctant to try it on, but when she does she finds herself in a startling new world. Morphea is her mother's world - a place where the myths and legends of our world are a lived and continuous reality. When she is pursued by a witch called Hecate and kidnapped by the Ferryman Charon, she must find her way back home and rescue her father from the sinister Dr Proteus. But will she leave this place where the pull of her mother is so very strong?
Author Dr Karen Brooks currently lectures at Sunshine Coast University in the areas of youth culture, film, music, literature and cultural theory. She has made an enormous impact in her brief time on the coast, her units and research attracting local, national and international attention. She has a regular talkback segment on Sunshine Coast Sea FM radio.

[Sharni · Rating 4 out of 5]

I wasn't sure if this was going to be a positive rereading experience as the descriptions of the women in Caz's life in the beginning were rather grating... but once the story gets going and Caz is transported to another land and towards answers about her long absent mother - I was hooked! Didn't realise that this was a quartet - I'm not sure if I'll ever find out how this story ends.
