This short story takes place the first October 31st after Chameleon Moon, Book 1.
Parole's devastating collapse left overwhelming damage, and a lot of dead. As the city's de facto leader, Evelyn Calliope does her best every day to hold everyone together, including herself. Now the sweet but sometimes-eerie Jenny Strings says she can speak to the deceased - and someone very important wants to talk to Evelyn. Unfortunately, where Jenny offers treats, Hans is up to his usual tricks. This ex-'ghost' has a brand-new body, and he's having way too much fun stretching his legs to let someone take his place as the Emerald Bar's resident poltergeist.
Some secrets are meant to be kept. Some are meant to be shared. And some should just stay buried.
RoAnna Sylver is passionate about stories that give hope, healing and even fun for LGBT, disabled and other marginalized people, and thinks we need a lot more. Aside from writing oddly optimistic dystopia and vampire books, RoAnna is a blogger, artist, and singer.
RoAnna lives with family near Portland, OR, and probably spends too much time playing videogames. The next adventure RoAnna would like is a nap in a pile of bunnies.
I hadn't realised I already read this (I think it may have been at the end of my copy of Chameleon Moon) and bought it. it was incredibly weird, but I think that's just how it goes with Jenny Strings I believe she goes by.
Anyway, it was very well-written, and this author really knows how to write children. they do such a lovely job.
i did absolutely enjoy reading this. it was relatable while being.... Parole (the city this series takes place in). 9.5/10 strongly recommend
I read this as part of Chameleon Moon, where it was included as a bonus in the end. A lovely little short. I'm starting to really take to the character of Jenny, who was only introduced quite late in Chameleon Moon. She's lovely and I hope to see more of her in later stories!
This is a fun little bridge from Chameleon Moon book #1 to book #2. If you like that series, go for it! If not, you'll probably be more confused than on board, maybe?
Anyway, I'm so in love with Chameleon Moon right now, so go read that--and then hop over to this.
