Each of the stories in this beguiling collection from the author of The Woman in the Purple Skirt takes the reader on a journey from seemingly ordinary situations into realms of surprises and the uncanny.
Asa tries to give her classmate a biscuit.
Nami evades her classmates' playground game of acorn-throwing.
Happy decides she's not interested in doing anything other than lying down on her sofa.
Each of these three stories begins in a reasonable place-but by the end you'll find yourself in another world altogether.
