A collection of short articles -- or fictional stories, who can say? -- about children who find themselves in odd, peculiar or downright uncanny situations, or who seem to possess unusual abilities. Tralins reports on the "bouncing babies" who fell from a window and landed unhurt; the child who flew a private plane safely to land after his pilot father died of a heart attack; the mind-reading twins of Addis Ababa, among many others.
Tralins is a prolific author of fantasy and supernatural literature of all kinds, who has more recently turned to the subject of women's rights.
I found a copy of this book at a garage sale when I was a teenager and it was fantastic! It was falling apart when I got it and has since disappeared. I would love to get ahold of another copy but have never been able to find one. It's a fabulous, fascinating read. If you can find a copy don't pass it up!
