![]() ![]() It does look excellent not look good for me, yay and stuff unfortunately, so I thought I might as well keep digging my own grave by exposing my shamefully reprehensible thoughts about this story. My life has been naught but excruciating pain courtesy at the vicious hands of the Super Extra Yummy barbarously ruthless Butcher of Merida for the past few weeks, and I would love nothing more than to be relentlessly chastised by him forever and ever and ever and stuff escape from this abyss of agony post haste. Soooooo, because of my most abhorrent rating for this book, I find my little nefarious self writing this thing from the deepest depths of IA Hell. ![]() Because I'm Super Extra Brave (SEB™) like that. ➽ And the other moralssss of this reread are: Alessandro is a giant ass clown of the first order and needs to be taken down approximately 150,000 notches, I want to be Grandma Frida when I grow old up, Bug and Bern need to hook up post haste, if Catalina says "I can't even" one more time I'm unleashing the murderous crustaceans on the whole planet, the Cuddly Beast of Cologne should be the star of this show, and I'm still waiting for the Zeus spin-off series. ![]() ![]() ➽ And the moral of this reread is: sorry not sorry but I still think this reads like Rogan & Nevada, The Angtsy YA Edition. ![]() ![]() ![]() His three novels have all reached various levels of critical and commercial success.

The first two novels were published by small publishing houses, however Pugsley chose to self-publish her third book. Pugsley has managed to write a contemporary fantasy while still firmly rooted in creating another world for her readers. While “The Tooth Fairy” is not set in the same world, it draws from the same well of humor and cultural observation. ![]() Pugsley had previously introduced audiences to the land of Gishlan in her “War and Chess” and “Tales from the Gishlan Wood” published in 20. On Monday, Pugsley presented her third book, “The Tooth Fairy” to those gathered at the brown bag lunch event at the Niobrara County Library. Pugsley’s appreciation and respect for Wyoming, while communicating that feeling that many young people have of “wanting out to see the bigger world” is one of the perspectives that lends her books weight, authenticity and humor.

The Family are strange beasts themselves. ![]() The party is also enlivened by snakes in a bath an obvious solution to a problem at the time, and the “Magenpies” who rearrange the tables. The creatures which Durrell describes so well have great personality, and acquire some great names, whether they be pregnant scorpions which deposit babies over brother’s beds, or a huge sea gull (not an albatross…) who gets loose under a table at an animal ridden party. I’m not always fond of books set in “the Abroad” as my TEFL tutor called it, but this sounds a beautiful place in which to explore, capsize boats, and discover some very wild wildlife. There are three elements of this book the Greek island of Corfu, the animals (and other creatures) which the narrator collects, and a singular family. It provided the basis for the recent tv version, which I haven’t seen yet, but will definitely try to now. I read it in a Slightly Foxed Edition, but I am sure that it is easily available in many versions. This is a book which most people would enjoy hugely. ![]() |
