The Curious Incident of the Gooneybird (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781518830051)

"The Curious Incident of the Gooneybird" is a children's fantasy adventure, written as a Christmas present for and about nine cousins (my grandchildren), ages four months through 12 years. Through the cleverness of their pets, nine cousins discover and lay claim to the Gooneybird, a wonderful ship that can fly through the air, and is rumored to have been built by magic dwarfs for the Norse gods in the Time of Legends. The cousins catch wind of a plot to steal the Gooneybird, and proceed to consult the wisest animals and people in the world for their advice. The thief strikes at the worst possible moment, and a dangerous situation is averted by the cousins through humor and time travel. It is child-friendly, but does contain cultural references and oddball humor that will hopefully entertain parents who are reading it to their children. I make no claims that the book is educational, as I am not a child psychologist or any kind of expert in nurturing young impressionable minds. I just hope kids find the story fun. Chris Botkin
