Hello everyone and thank you for stopping by. We will unveil the publication date for Greelandos by Virginia Witch in several days.
Till then we have a new advanced praise for the book. I hope you enjoy it.
“Greenlandos” offers a satirical and humorous perspective on human society, approaching life with humor, sometimes even dark, in a unique way. The author brings social satire to the forefront through characters like Dr. Praz, who advocates for the absurd and comedic sacrifice of fellow citizens : Science demands sacrifices, Garlic! Progress has always been reached through chlorophyll spilling!(page 60)
The book’s originality lies in representing people as vegetables, each with human habits and characters, introducing an element of absurdity and surprise to the story.
Virginia Witch, the author of the book, presents a variety of typologies, from the superhero Belladonna to characters like Pumpkin Chef and Mr. Cucumber, the neighborhood drunks. This diversity of characters contributes to the complexity and richness of the story. The unpredictable evolution of these characters maintains the reader’s interest from the beginning to the end.
The strength of the book lies in its advocacy for friendship and responsible behavior towards our planet. The author successfully blends fantasy with real data, creating a world where vegetables become vivid portraits of humanity. This original approach breathes fresh air into the satirical genre. Geared primarily toward middle school children, Greenlandos is a book with a dual audience. The ecological and moral education woven into the story is designed for children aged 10 and above, while the satirical aspect and additional information at the story’s conclusion are intended for adults.
At the end of the book, the cards presenting elements of culture and myths related to vegetables and plants add an additional layer of interesting information. Highlighting the extraordinary benefits of these vegetables for our health provides readers with a useful and educational perspective. Consequently, “Greenlandos” transcends the realm of merely being a humorous and satirical tale, evolving into a captivating exploration of the interplay between fantasy and reality.
