"Brilliant stories." --Cory Doctorow, author ofLittle Brother "There are so many smart, sweet, funny, troubling treats here about so many things--childhood, chefs, God, barber shops, the atomic bomb--that it's nearly impossible to pick a favorite.

I've heard Ellen read "Mobius, Stripped of a Muse," and "Time Gypsy," so I already knew I loved those. That means that the biggest surprise was "Intelligent Design," although "In the House of the Seven Librarians" was also awesome. (

Wow. Not a dud in this collection. The story "Portable Childhoods" made me cry. It will more than likely do the same for any parent, especially if they have a kid who recently graduated from high school. I intend to buy a copy of this because I think I'll read it again and again. Especially "Portable Childhoods" and "In the House of the Seven Librarians." (

A powerful collection of fantasy, magical realism, and realistic fiction centered around childlike wonder. (

Normally, I am not a fan of short stories, but these had a magic to them that I loved. Many of the stories are written from the point of view of children, which Klages captures in a way that makes you believe that you are actually reading the thoughts of children. Very refreshing - I highly recommend this book! (

My favorite story might be "In the House of Seven Librarians," in which a young girl is raised in a magic, completely closed off library. (
