It was illustrated by Kasia Charko,[1] and released by Second Story Press in 2000. The novel is well suited for young readers and marketed for young teenagers.[2] The novel's topic is influenced by Celtic mythology and Arthurian legends.[2][1] Plot introductionThe story is about an orphan girl named Meryl and her dream of becoming a bard like her mother before her, and the quest she must go on to achieve this goal. She and a Draoi (dro-aw-eye) named Halstatt come together to journey to a great kingdom and drink from a magic cauldron to discover her true destiny. AwardsThe book was nominated for the 2002 Hackamatack award in Canada. ReceptionWhen reviewing the book for SF Site, Scientist George T Dodds, called the novel as a "delightful story for young readers" that "reads remarkably well for its target audience, with a nice mix of fantasy, interesting and unusual characters, and an avoidance of didacticism and moral preaching."[2] Jeffrey Canton, reviewing the novel for Quill & Quire compared the novel to Welwyn Wilton Katz's A Third Magic, concluding that the "novel mirrors the great tradition of songs and stories that her young heroine longs to place herself in but, more importantly, it leaves readers with a story that does the bardic tradition proud."[1] References1. ^1 2 {{Cite news|url=http://www.quillandquire.com/review/a-riddle-of-roses/|title=A Riddle of Roses|last=Canton|first=Jeffrey|date=2004-02-17|work=|newspaper=Quill and Quire|access-date=2016-12-17|via=}} 2. ^1 2 {{Cite web|url=https://www.sfsite.com/06a/rr105.htm|title=The SF Site Featured Review: A Riddle of Roses|last=Dodds|first=George T.|date=|website=www.sfsite.com|publisher=|access-date=2016-12-17}} External links
