The Bizarroid Trilogy

Summary

The Bizarroid Trilogy is a middle grade fantasy series written by Nolan Seel.

The series takes place on the island of Divid, which is split into two halves: Normalis, where humans live, and Bizarria, which is home to the Bizarroids, a group of unusual creatures that come in many different species.

The series stars Rosalind, a Bizarroid resembling a dog/caterpillar hybrid. She hatched from her egg in Normalis, alone, and she doesn't know how she got there. She befriends two humans, a boy with autism named Pascal, and a young woman with ectrodactyly named Kathryn. They team up to fight the Scumleeches, an army of evil, slimy creatures who aim to conquer the island.

Rosalind, Pascal, and Kathryn all start out as outcasts, but they find comfort in each other's friendship. Together, they explore the island, meeting friends and foes and leaning more about the island's history as they search for a way to stop the Scumleeches. They must also deal with King Silverforge V, the ruler of Normalis, who has his own plans for conquest.

Main characters

Rosalind

(Bizarroid)

The protagonist of the series. Rosalind is a dog/caterpillar-like creature who hatched from her egg in Normalis. She does not know who she is or how she got to Normalis.

She is maligned by the humans for stealing food from them. She is nice and caring, although her love of food and fear of conflict cause her to make some bad decisions.

Kathryn

(Human)

A 26-year-old servant in the castle of King Silverforge V. Kathryn was born with ectrodactyly (cleft hands), a condition that has caused her fellow servants to mock her all her life.

Still, she remains strong and hopeful of a better life. She does her best to help Rosalind, and she also has her own dream of becoming queen—not with King Silverforge, but on her own.

Pascal

(Human)

An eight-year-old boy from the village of Brickhaven. Pascal is an orphan who is bullied by the other orphanage children both because he has autism, and because he is the only person in his town who is not afraid of the Bizarroids, but actually wants to connect with them.

Scumleeches

(Bizarroids...?)

The main antagonists of the series. An army of one-foot-long, leech-like monsters made of green slime. They can possess living beings by biting them, and their goal is to possess every living being on Divid.

The Scumleeches are led by the mysterious Lord Scarleech and his advisor, Lyre.

Lurk, Leery, and Lug, three Scumleech minions, are prominent antagonists in Book 1.

King Silverforge V

(Human)

The secondary antagonist of the series, working independently of the Scumleeches.

King Silverforge is the ruler of Normalis, and also a blacksmith/inventor who enjoys building all sorts of weapons and machines. He has a sinister plan to expand his kingdom. In order to achieve this goal, he needs Rosalind...but what for?

Sky Pearls

(Otherworldly)

Sky Pearls are important supporting characters in the series. They are bubble-like orbs that float in the sky and come in many different colors.

The Sky Pearls were created by the benevolent King Nebula to watch over the island and help protect it from evil.

Themes

This series features multiple characters with mental and/or physical abnormalities. These characters may be bullied by their peers, but they are still just as worthy of love as anyone else, and they are still capable of being heroes.

Inclusion

Free Will

This series explores the power of choice. Everyone makes important choices at some point, and while we have the freedom to choose, not all decisions are good ones. Some can have bad impacts on other people. Still, it's better to have free will than to have that freedom taken from you, like the Scumleeches do when they possess people.

Content

The series is recommended for middle grade readers.

Some scenes may be frightening or intense for readers below middle grade.

Violence is mostly kept at a family-friendly level. The Scumleeches suffer lots of injuries, but they are made of green slime and can easily recover from most attacks. There are some mentions of non-human blood and scars. One human character breaks an arm in Book 1, but it is not described in graphic detail.

The series has no profanity or obscene content.

Kindness

The series stresses the importance of being kind not only to your friends, but even to those who are unkind to you.
