"The Wizard of Odd makes for top quality entertainment that is geared toward the playful child that is within us all. We would suggest this book to people who like their fantasy with some serious twists and a fair bit of action. ****/5" -Dom Smith, Sphere Webzine-Northeren England, UK

"Soda's world of odd is a landscape painted in rich colors and light hearted characters. Both very loveable and enjoyable. It's rare to read fantasy that can satisfy the mature 1/2 of your brain and the childish 1/2 at the same time. If you like Gregory Maguire, this is your ticket." -Acey Slade, NYC Artist/Musician

"'The Wizard of Odd' is an amazing post modern fairy tale from an emerging new artist with a very unique voice. Audiences everywhere will be pleased to read this fantastic journey which is in many ways reminiscent of the writings of J.R.R. Tolkien & Lewis Carrol. Despite the obvious similarities, it feels totally fresh and exciting. Soda creates a strange new world in Baziel, the cloud city, that is so magical and innocent that I found myself wanting to escape into myself just like young Donovan, the main character. I can't wait to read his next novel and see what he comes up with next." -Dave Alvin Singer/White Trash

"Like all the best fantasy writers, Soda transports you to another world which you soon come to believe in."-The Resident, CT

Young Donovan Bale is the only survivor of a plane crash. He awakens in a strange city called Baziel, otherwise known as Cloud City, to a whole new world. Few humans can actually see the pink and blue inhabitants, but he happens to be of the special few. As fate would have it, he arrives just in time to help the city fight a terrible witch who has captured their wizard and wages a war of darkness.

Donovan-accompanied by his stuffed rabbit Toby, who comes to life in Cloud City-meets many strange friends. Together they undertake a treacherous journey through a haunted forest, into battle with deformed flying pigs, and all the way up to a horrifying castle. As he helps defend a city he never knew existed, he learns about himself and about life. The emotional and physical stress of this quest affects Donovan and his brave young friends, but they soon find out that if they believe and work together, they can beat the darkness.

If he can help defeat the witch, he'll go down in Cloud City history. And if they win, the biggest wish of all will be granted. But it won't be easy. Can he free the wizard? Is he brave enough? What will he wish for? Come join Donovan on his trip through this enchanting land of light and dark.
