What-the-Dickens by Gregory Maguire

Typical of author Gregory Maguire (Seven Spinning Spiders, Leaping Beauty), he takes a fairy tale and runs with it! This latest novel is all about the tooth fairy civilization, and its discovery by a lonely child, Gage. The book is about how a now grown-up Gage is retelling his experience to 3 young cousins during a dark and stormy night (perfect mood-setting). If you like Maguire's combination of quirky yet eloquently descriptive writing, this novel is perfect for you, boy or girl, at any age! RATING: ****and a half (sometimes, it's just TOO silly!) LLL
