Glom Gloom by Jo Dereske

Glom GloomJo has become my favourite author since I discovered Henning Mankell. I just can't put her books down and dread the day when I've read them all. You go Jo.

One of my favorite books as a child.

Glom Gloom was read to me by the school librarian when I was in the third grade, it was a new book at the time. I was captivated by the wonderful story writing capabilities of Jo Dereske. Raymond, the town trouble maker and doubting Thomas of the old legends decides to explore find whether the legends of the Garter Gates and their races' once enslavement were just some mumbo-jumbo that the adults tell to frighten their children into obedience, or something that they should be paying much more close attention to and not just celebrating the liberation day. I would recommend this story for any child who can read it, and adults. In my opinion, it still is one of the best books I have ever read.
