Description:
Five-year old Imogene finds herself living alone with
her crotchety Aunt Agnes. Imogene and Agnes live in a mansion with a
forbidden "east wing" and although the sea is right below the
window, swimming in it is not allowed. Her Mother Elsie has promised to
return in five years but her reason for leaving is unknown to our little
heroine.
Imogene's only friend is Sampson, the butler, and five years later the two
find themselves down by the sea in the dark of night. Here the adventure
begins. Imogene finds her way to a mysterious land under the sea, much
like life on the surface but new and delightful. Here she learns why her
Mother had to leave and why she too may never return to the surface.

Reviews:
"Canadian author Teresa Saari's vivid
imagination brings the characters to life. The magical Kingdom under the
sea reminds us of Atlantis. Older children will delight in sharing
Imogene's adventures in the Pacific Kingdom both happy and troublesome but
always entertaining." ~ Shirley Roe (Canada)
Allbooks Reviews
"Teresa Saari flawlessly demonstrates her
imagination and her ability to enchant and hypnotize the reader, whether
they are 8 or 80. Although this book is for a younger audience, I found it
thoroughly enjoyable. Imogene of the Pacific Kingdom is an
ideal book for story time, not only for the listener but for the reader as
well. The author has made a smashing success of her first children's
novel, and I can't wait to hear about Imogene's future adventures. It's
this reader's opinion that Imogene of the Pacific Kingdom is
very well crafted and a must read." ~ Kimberly
Hayes
"Imogene
of the Pacific Kingdom by Teresa Saari is a fantasy story any child would
love. Good conquers evil, the young girl turned princess saves the day,
and a family is reunited after years of separation. It is a feel-good
story with enough of a roller coaster ride to keep the reader on the edge
of her seat until the very end." ~ Christine Louise Hohlbaum
