About Return to Cardamom

Title: Return to Cardamom (Caramel Cardamom Trilogy, Book #2) Author: Julie Anne Grasso Publisher: Independent Publication Date: July 17, 2013 Pages: 136 (Paperback) Recommended Age: 9+
Caramel the Elf is back and more determined than ever! When we left her in Escape from the Forbidden Planet Caramel had just discovered her usual talents and almost single handedly her home, Planet Cardamom. As if she isn't busy enough studying as a Tree Healer AND an Elf healer,there is more trouble when the rainforest and the planets livelihood is threatened. Caramel is sure her aunt and Alexander 222 behind it all but no one believes her! how can anyone hide something from a planet full of mind reading elves? Can she stop these two troublemaker again?

I enjoyed the second title in this tween Sci-fi series as much as the first.  It is great to see a strong and clever female Hero that makes being smart and being into Science cool! It was also refreshing to find a series that is full of fantasy and science without the darkness that seems to be prevalent in many YA books these days
The art work on the cover made me think how much fun it would be to see Caramel and friends animated! That is not to say Ms. Grasso doesn't do a great job describing the characters and the amazing planet on which they live! I look forward to more in the series and reading them with my daughters (7 & 3.5) when they are a bit older. I would definitely recommend adding this to your family's Summer reading list!
