excerpt:
Then I spied a pitcher of ice water sitting on the picnic table. That would cool Trevor's laughter. I leapt onto the lawn, only to have my high heels sink into the grass and remain there while I tried to take another step. I pitched forward onto the grass, leaving both shoes neatly stuck behind me.
Dragon in the Clouds, a novel for nine- to twelve-year-olds set in the Okanagan Valley, has something for everyone. It has appealing slapstick humour, a dog and horses for animal lovers, adventure for adventure lovers, and problems for those who enjoy ``problem" novels about growing up.
Highly recommended.
