"Be careful going in search of adventure--it's ridiculously easy to find." --William Least Heat-Moon
There are always unlikely characters pining for adventure in books or wishing they were something else. Sometimes even the simplest books with no words at all can become the best kind of adventure!
Check out these:
Spoon
The Red Book
Tuesday
The Grey Lady and the Strawberry Snatcher
Wave
Rainstorm
Mirror
Sunshine
ENJOY!
A pen in never land (noun): a children's book author and aficionado of sorts who is dutifully dedicated to zany wit, splendidly ticklish words, whimsical over-the-top fun, imagination, and downright wonderful kidlit.Come along--"second star (I should probably say book) to the right and straight on til' morning," but don't be surprised if you never grow up!
I really like THE BLUE GIRL by Charles de Lint, a lyrical YA author.

And you can get a used copy from Amazon for only a penny. How cool is that? Roland
I just had a look see. Interesting book I'll say. Yes, it is pretty cool that you can find so many books for a good price on Amazon and other places as well. Thanks for the heads up!
