Critics Consensus: Is Tara Nikkel really the next “Harry Potter”-type sensation we've been waiting for?

LAGUNA BEACH, Calif. - March 30, 2015 - PRLog -- The Tara Nikkel universe revolves around a thirteen year old girl with a host of physical challenges - cerebral palsy, asthma, and a severe peanut allergy – and then on top of it all is pushed into a world of magic, monsters and adventure. It's a recipe for fun and reflection, that carries an important message to teen readers about what's possible even in the face of adversity. This is the world author R.A. Sapp has offered in his increasingly popular Tara Nikkel series, which has become a #1 seller on Amazon and is currently cracking the top ten middle grade novels of 2015 on Goodreads. Sapp recently announced an April 14, 2015 release date for book two, Tara Nikkel and the Shaman of La'la Eek and the story is expected to be more exciting than ever.

“It's really encouraging to see that my readers appreciate the Tara Nikkel stories as much as I love writing them,” commented Sapp, who writes out of his home base of Orange Country, California. “Our latest novel is going to offer some real surprises and excitement far beyond Tara Nikkel and the Dream Mage. Get ready for a wild ride!”

The series of books, according to the author, is most appropriate for serious middle grade readers and is available in paperback and various e-Book formats through Amazon, Barnes and Noble, as well as Apple iBooks.

Reviews from readers for the series have been passionate.

Diana K., recently said in a five star review of Tara Nikkel Book 1, “I found this book to be very interesting, not normally the typical style of books I read. The story though really got me, the characters were all very interesting and easy to understand and follow.”

Sapp said the series is just finding its legs and that he is currently working on the third installment which he promises fans will be a “genre-blending game changer.”
