Dear Wizard of Words, Why do you like making books? I read Kendra Kandlestar and the Door to Unger and it’s one of my favorite book EVER! It’s so creative and has a lot of detail in it.
~ Riley, age 10
I love your books and your ideas so I hope you can keep writing and I can keep reading. Once again, I love your books!
~ Simran, age 11
Kendra Kandlestar books are amazing to me because they are adventurous and mysterious and very exciting because you will never know what’s going to happen next.
~ Joshua, age 9
I really liked the second part of Kendra Kandlestar! I really do recommend this book to my friends and neighbors; that it is a great book if you love fantasy!
~ Catherine, age10
I loved this book! Lee Edward Födi has set up this chronicle like a play set. There’s everything in it that’s in our world! Personally, I like Door To Unger because it has more adventure! But Kendra Kandlestar and the Box of Whispers is a great beginning book! Kendra Kandlestar is just as awesome as Harry Potter! By the way, Lee Edward Födi visited our school! YAY!
~ Amaneet, age 11
I got sucked into the book. I just couldn’t put the book down!
~ Tom, age 12
I have read the book Kendra Kandlestar and the Box of Whispers and Kendra Kandlestar the Door to Unger. It was really good. My favorite character is Oki. I like Oki because he is really funny. On the first book he was thinking about onions but on the second book he started thinking about turnips.
~ Shaira, age 11
This is the most awesome book ever! This book is amazing! I recommended this book to my class. My teacher said it sounds good! I love it!
~ May, age 9
Your books are extremely cool and awesome. My favorite character is Oki because of his “EEKS” and “Don’t think about onions” (Uncle Griffinskitch taught him that). My favorite parts are when Uncle Griffinskitch “humphs”. My favorite book was Kendra Kandlestar and the Door to Unger.
~ Alex, age 7
I stayed up all night reading Kendra Kandlestar and the Box of Whispers. I couldn’t stop reading. It was a great book. I love the detail. It definitely brought it to life. I found the idea interesting because everyone kind of has a box of whispers of their own. Some people choose to open it and some choose to keep it locked.
~ Willow, age 11
Kendra Kandlestar and the Door to Unger is fantastic! It rocks! And the illustrations are really good; they’re fantastic! I want to draw like you!
~ Danny, age 10
I have just finished reading The Door to Unger. I have also read The Box of Whispers. Every night my mom and I would take turns reading a couple chapters. We both loved your books so much we looked up your web site. Mom and I both love Trooogul and Kendra, the way they teased each other just like brothers and sisters “wouldzum.”
~ Amanda, age 10
I thought Kendra Kandlestar and the Door to Unger was the best book ever! Whenever I read your book, I thought it had only been five minutes, but when I looked it had been half an hour! One of my favorite parts was when they met Effryn Hagglehorn, when Skeezle was making its way up the tree and Effryn Hagglehorn did a spell to make the snail become a giant snail! I really, really enjoy reading your books and look forward to the next Kendra Kandlestar book.
~ Alanah, age 12
I like how you wrote Kendra Kandlestar and the Door to Unger. My favorite characters are Kendra because she is brave, strong and she has a mind of her own and Oki because you draw Oki so cute. I wish there is the third book of Kendra Kandlestar.
~ Kathlene, age 10
I am eight years old and I met you when you came to my primary school last year. I want to know when you are coming out with the third Kendra book, I enjoyed reading both Kendra books so much. I finished the second one in seven days and didn’t want it to end. Thank you so much for writing and drawing such great books.
~ Logan, age 8
I loved Kendra Kandlestar and the Door to Unger it was just awesome…I loved the ending, but to me its not! I hope you write a third book to conclude it or even more! When I was practicing my violin I was still reading your book!
~ Annie, age 10
I just finished reading Kendra Kandlestar and the Door to Unger! It was so…exciting and marvellous! I couldn’t stop reading it! I bought the book yesterday and I finished it today. I felt sorry for Trooogul.
~ Minha, age 10
Dear Lee Födi, I had a great time reading The Door to Unger and The Box of Whispers. I hope you continue to write books; I love them. How did you get the idea of The Door to Unger? I think it was even better then The Box of Whispers. The Box of Whispers was the first full chapter book I ever read. Thank you very much for your books, they make me happy. I enjoy reading them with my Mom and Dad. Thank you for entertaining us.
~ Connor, age 7
Jinx is my favorite character; at times I find she “connects to me.” I finished the book in two days.
~ Sophia, age 10
I read Kendra Kandlestar and the Box of Whispers, it’s better then good . . . it’s AWESOME!
~ Andrea, age 11
The second book is awesome! Its twice the adventure and twice the action! Sweet!
~ Yura, age 10
Lee Edward Födi grew up on a farm, where he was subjected to various horrible chores such as cleaning up after chickens, pigs, geese, and younger siblings. He continually craved adventure and often found himself searching between the cracks of here and there in hopes of discovering an enchanted world populated with magical creatures, talking animals, and other creatures of faerie. Several years later, he had the stroke of good fortune to stumble upon the secret Land of Een and now he is most pleased to have the official title as chronicler of the adventures of Kendra Kandlestar. When he is not chronicling, “Mr. Wiz” (as he is so often called) spends his time speaking at schools or helping kids sculpt their own stories through creative writing workshops.
