THE IMAGERY CREATED WILL LEAVE YOU BREATHLESS

Dargo, Eco Hero! gives me the best kind of Wizard of Oz vibes. The author has nailed the same type of warmth as L. Frank Baum but puts her own unique spin on main character Dargo and his band of merry cohorts.

The ecological lessons conveyed in McRoberts's work are huge ones. She is successful in creating quite an impact with her words and the experiences of her cast of characters. I was especially impressed with the mixture of personification and metaphors found throughout the writing

The imagery she creates leaves readers breathless at times. Her writing is timely and gives voice to the environment in a way no other writer I have seen has been able to do.

Dargo: Eco Hero is a short read, easily digestible in one sitting, it packs an important punch-and one we all need to feel right about now. Protecting and appreciating the earth for the miracle it is tops this author's list of priorities. Readers looking for a hard dose of truth in their fantasy reads will appreciate McRoberts's style and character development.

I highly recommend Dargo's story to anyone looking for something different, something fun, and a book that will leave them smiling.

ONE OF THE BEST AND MOST UNIQUE BOOKS I HAVE EVER READ

Dargo, Eco Hero! is by far one of the best and most unique books I have ever read, with a vitally important message.

Karina McRoberts uses humor to address a serious subject - taking care of our planet, the environment, and the ecological system that we all rely on for survival.

This poignant story is filled with fascinating characters, places, and events - all enhanced with beautiful pictures. I particularly enjoyed the way old and new songs and films are incorporated into the dialogue to enrich the characters.

The smooth flow allows for quick reading which makes it perfect for parents to read to their children. Overall Dargo, Eco Hero! is a thoroughly enjoyable story that is highly recommended for young and old.

HEARTWARMING WITH GREAT ADVENTURE

The tale is filled with great adventure, heartwarming, and heartbreaking moments.

It is correctly described as an adult fairy tale, but could also be shared with elementary school age children as a starting point for meaningful discussions.

Author Karina McRoberts has crafted a captivating story in Dargo, Eco Hero!

It is the first book of a new series, A Treasury of Feel-Good Stories.

Readers will greatly anticipate additional books by this author, full of adventures, intriguing characters and important messages.

GREAT FUN

The state of our planet is a problem that afflicts all of us, but so far, I have never found a story that could help raise awareness in the same pleasing and compelling way as Dargo, Eco Hero!

McRoberts writes an engaging and entertaining story with a protagonist whose evolution is interesting to discover.

At first, Dargo dislikes Flame and the other natural spirits (the moments in which he protests against the damages caused by fire and water with their respective spirits are hilarious).

It is a pleasure to read how Dargo's way of thinking gradually changes and what he will do to help his new friends.

I believe that Dargo, Eco Hero! is a book that will appeal to readers of all ages because it has something to teach both adults and children. It is with great enthusiasm that I recommend Karina McRoberts' book to others. I am sure they will be delighted to have found it as much as I am.

GORGEOUS WRITING

An undercurrent of urgency keeps the reader engaged and hooked to the plot. The gorgeous writing and focused scenes lift the beauty of the story and inspire readers to care about the world around them.

The book's characters are fiery and filled with delightful natures.

A story with an irresistible appeal to both adults and young readers and one of those books I would love to see transformed into Motion Picture.
