"Dowding offers a charming sequel ... a page-turner that is funny, magical and entertaining."--Kirkus Reviews, July/2016



Well, that's a wonderful first review for my next book, Everton Miles is Stranger than Me, the sequel to The Strange Gift of Gwendolyn Golden, which was shortlisted for the OLA Red Maple award, in 2015.

Thank you, KirkusReviews! It's always a bit nerve-wracking waiting for your first review of a new book. The word "tenterhooks" comes to mind! (A kind of sharp nail, used to attach cloth to tenters, according to Merriam Webster.)

Together, the books are called The Night Flyer's Handbook Series.
