At 512 pages, I’d guess the word count is well over 100,000 words. The story is endlessly inventive, each page a delight. You don’t find that kind of inventiveness (where every mundane little detail gets reinvented and cast into a fantastic light) in an adult or YA novel. And the goose, of course, is a killer. :o)

The sequel “Twilight Robbery” is, if possible, even better.
