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 tasty tidbit about how the story came obout.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
