Description

#1 International Best Seller

For those who have sometimes been left out or behind and know that being valued and needed is paramount; especially for the elderly.

At 73, Mrs. Alice Perivale is told she is too old to be useful anymore. That's when an adorable, mystical creature with self-esteem issues and a worrying candy habit shows up and tells her that there is a prophecy about her; she's meant to save the extraordinary, magical world of Corev from treacherous forces

Alice's kind heart can't say no to anyone who needs her. Full of spirit and sass, our feisty, strong-willed grandma trespasses straight out of well-behaved expectations and embarks on a precarious and legendary journey to fulfill her epic destiny. Armed with brains and experience, she takes her stab-tastic knitting needles, a herd of enigmatic cats, and her skeptical-yet-devoted butler, Henderson, who tries to keep the tea hot and make sure Mrs. P takes her pills on time

Rather than trying to reassert her usefulness to a world that seems ready to heave her behind, Alice has no doubt that it's worth the enormous risk to instead save a world that won't survive without her. Mrs. Perivale is ready to take on whatever comes, but she won't put up with any shenanigans Evil stands no chance against her; liable to be walloped by her cane, or worse

Have a cookie, and escape with a determined old girl and her remarkable family on this perilous, laugh-out-loud, heart touching adventure. Alice Perivale is the heroine you never knew you needed, just when you need her most

YA+

Mrs. Perivale and the Blue Fire Crystal is the first book in the much-beloved Mrs. Perivale series, which was written specifically for the viral meme below:

@broodingYAhero said, "It's amazing how many prophecies involve teens. You'd think they'd pick more emotionally stable people, with more free time. Like grandmas."

To which @Dinuriel replied, "...I would read the hell out of a series of a chosen eighty-five-year-old woman who goes on epic journeys throughout a dangerous and magical land, armed only with a cane and her stab-tastic knitting needles, accompanied by her six cats and a skittish-yet-devoted orderly who makes sure she takes her pills on time.

Wish Granted

Book two, Mrs. Perivale and the Dragon Prince, will come out in the fall of 2020.
