Summary: Life is sweet for Caramel and things are finally getting back to normal. Well, as normal as it can be for a telepathic elf who can train trees and control computers, but she soon finds life on Cardamom is not all cupcakes and apple cider. A saboteur is hiding in the rainforest canopy, and the elves’ precious cardamom export has been wiped out. Caramel is certain it’s another trick of Alexander222 and her Aunt Isabel, but no one will believe her, and the clock is ticking. She must expose the saboteur in time to save the crop or the Elves of Cardamom will lose their livelihood. Caramel won’t rest until her theory is proven. While she is on the hunt, she makes a shocking discovery, one that will change everything.

The Buzz About Book 1: Escape From the Forbidden Planet

Julie Anne Grasso is an Australian author with a background in paediatric nursing. She spent many years literally wrapping children in cotton wool. Every day she witnessed great courage and resilience from the tiny people she cared for, which inspired her to write stories about a little girl elf just like them. Add in some very funky technology, her love of science fiction and desire to impart great values through her little girl elf named Caramel and there you have it, the Adventures of Caramel Cardamom Trilogy was the result.

About the Author:

Julie lives in Melbourne with her husband Danny and their little elf Giselle. Most days she can be found sipping chai lattes, chasing a toddler, and dreaming up wonderful worlds that often involve consumption of cupcakes.

“I loved this book. Super great series for middle graders. I loved Caramel. She has a great attitude and determination. I really admired how she was focused on getting home, saving her family but also made the best of being stuck on an alien planet. Definitely a book with great role models for kids. I really hope there is more to come where this came from. Kids need books like this with catchy stories, solid characters who have good values that they can relate to.” ~ Unorthodox Mama, Goodreads, 5 Stars.

Quick Fun Author Interview:

1. If you were stranded on a desert island what 3 things would you want with you?

The nurse in my would like to say toilet paper and hand wipes, but instead I will say, iPad with Kindle App, Caramel cupcake and Chai latte, bliss….

2. If you could choose only one time period (i.e., past, present, or future) and place to live, when and where would you live and why?

I think I would go to ancient Egypt, who wouldn’t want to see how the pyramids were built?

3. If you were a superhero what would your name be, what would be your super-power, and what would be your kryptonite?

I would be super hand sanitizer girl, my family would agree with this whole heartedly. I use it a lot. My super-power would be healing and my kryptonite would be caramel.
