Loganberry Books: Stump the Bookseller -- New Stumpers
This is a great site for finding that long-lost story or book. I know from personal experience.
Juli put the interlibrary loan on my desk while I noted the message from Rachel that her mail contained a book. So we were both opening a copy of Austrailian children's book author Margaret Mahy's "The Chewing-Gum Rescue" at the same moment. A two-month's long search for a story that moved us when we were ten years younger and listening to an audio version culminated with it in our hands, thatnks to this bookseller's site. $2.00 was not too much to pay: we were seriously interested in finding "The Midnight Story on Griffon Hill," about a writer who's sad stories can only be shared with the griffon on the hill behind his home.
Rachel has become a writer since, and is in college for an English degree. I'll let you know when she gets published.
Meanwhile, Butler of Andover faculty member Peter Devries has recently published his first, a fantasy novel "Wistrix Donn". I'll get it for the library as soon as possible, but the Andover HS library has it now, along with a nice display of Peter at the Watermark Books booksigning.
Congratulations, Peter!
