Gremlin: A Novella (Kindle Edition)
by Carrie Vaughn
A short story with remarkable depth and understanding. Love the Gremlin character, he/she is a sweet natured entity with compassion and connection. The time lapsed stories show how Gremlin was transferred over generations of the family that had an adventurous spirit. The three venues of war and exploration with strong female characters is inspiring. Thank you Mrs. Vaughn for bringing this story of acceptance and bravery.
