Customer Reviews

A well-told story--highly recommended

This is an extraordinary book. I was reading it today and was struck anew how beautiful it is, it's like a shamanic journey in a way, with the magic glasses, the magical world, the bright colors, the joy and then the return to the real world being normal and the magic one a dream. An astonishing dream that one strives to remember.

The World Around the Corner

There's a world waiting just around the corner, a world of dragons and young princesses chosen to battle them, if only you could see it. Through magical glasses she finds at a local junk shop, the protagonist learns of the Moon Girl's quest to fight off the dragon to save the world around the corner.Young (pre-teen) girls will love this tale, though there's nary a drop of romance for older readers. Young boys might enjoy it as well for exactly that reason!
