Advance Praise
Larson’s new book, “A” is for The Alchemist, is an absolute joy, a book seemingly written by a seasoned literary veteran rather than a first-time novelist. Of course, Larson brings to writing a lifetime as a master storyteller, particularly of stories meant to engage and entertain young minds….Vivid, fun, young characters, dastardly antagonists, a frolicking adventure and, yes, some lovable and pitch-perfect animal characters. - Robert Nelson, Omaha Magazine
5 Stars (Out of 5)
In "A" Is for the Alchemist, James Larson has written a wild adventure that defies prediction. Children and young adults will enjoy the well-written characters and numerous zany inventions. "A" Is for the Alchemist is a promising start to Larson's new series, which will appeal to children and young adults seeking an action-packed novel with some fantastic twists.
--Clarion Review
Two audacious children, a pet cat and a homeless dog overcome an evil scientist in Larson's first series installment for middle-grade readers. A well-paced story with all the ingredients to keep kids enthralled.
