Yvette, you like to dip your pen in fantasy. :) These characters are believable. Yet, this chapter is just a tad smaller then the others. Archibald is mean poor imps all they wanted was something to eat. Good story. Keep it up and I'll keep reading. :)

Content aside (which is very good both structurally and substantively) I want to commend you on the very good physical structure of this. I love the colored fonts. Even on its face, without diving in, this is already a huge help with following the different parts of this page! I know this may not be the review you were looking for, but just so you know--it's helpful!

Thank you for returning us to the garden! I wonder if your own garden was the inspiration for all these magical creatures. I guess that map is something only the imps can get? It's good they are willing to work for blueberries!

Whit and whimsy and a delightful cast of characters. Dialog flows naturally and pacing is brisk--I can see how this series would capture and hold interest of attention-deprived pre-teens. Cheers. LIZ

This is just delightful, dear Yvette and during a hurricane. (Dear me, I was so concerned for all of Alabama. I'm so relieved to see the post.) Well written as always and in the banter I've come to love.
Sending you my best today as always,
Sal XOs.....

A great chapter and I really would have liked more to read, but in another way I like the shortness of it. I guess I can't have it both ways. You did a great job. Shirley
