    PETRA AND THE BLUE GOO is a wonderful story! As my neurological disease progresses, my brain has been especially untrustworthy. I find it harder and harder to concentrate and focus on what I’m reading and/or doing. I’m telling you this because it’s noteworthy that I was able to sit down and read this story straight through, without losing my way or giving in to distraction.

    By the time I finished reading this, I remembered the first time I opened a library book that had been “assaulted by some idiot with an ink pen,” as my Dad put it. Naturally, I love the character Petra – she embodies so many of the fine qualities a good librarian should have.

    Thanks for sharing this story – it’s a genuine delight!
