Peculiar pet shops.Troublesome dream homes.And robot vacuums that just want to be free. Looking for a captivating (and quick) escape from reality? These fifteen tales of myth, magic, and whimsy provide just that. Amongst the award-winning words are stories of vacations gone enchantingly wrong, questionable business practices, worrying parental habits, misbehaving reptiles, and Norse gods in a bit of a bind. This second short story collection by Tammie Painter (author of the humor-filled Cassie Black Trilogy and The Circus of Unusual Creatures Mysteries) begins with a brief introduction telling how these stories led to the creation of those fan favorite series. The author then launches each tale with a few words to share the twists and turns of inspiration. The fifteen stories range from beguiling magical realism to laugh-out-loud silliness to dark (but not too dark) fantasy. Some stories have a little violence (nothing gruesome) and mild cursing, but no "on-screen" hanky panky (a giant does have some off-screen fun, but I'll leave you to discover that one). The stories inside….The Great Escape Grave Bargains Buttercup: Queen of Death The Drive-Thru Window Testing the Waters The Back Room The Liar of Lilløya Space Walk Moonlight Cruise The Ghost of Arlen Hall A Case of Mamma's Love Dragon Trouble The Secret Eater A Feast for Sight Champ
Wills often come with unexpected surprises. This one especially so. Reggie and Enton Bookman have just inherited their grandfather's bookshop. The place is profitable, well-loved by the community, and situated in a lively shopping district. But the Bookman brothers want nothing to do with it. After all, who in the world would want to waste their time around books when they could sell the place, pocket a few million, and experience VIP airport lounges and first-class flights? With such a hot property, selling it should be easy, right? Not when every scheme the brothers come up with to rid themselves of the shop hits obstacle after obstacle. And the more time Enton spends in the shop, the more he starts to believe it's not just bad luck thwarting their efforts. If you believe in the magic of books and enjoy a bit of humor with your magical realism, you'll love the exploits of the Bookman brothers. Pick up your copy today.
