He is wonderful. I would use copper for the chain since copper seems less like city life than silver. He has a wonderful feel of mystery and adventure.

They have such a unique selection of beads and jewelry-making ingredients. I remember hearing about this book a few years ago, but didn't pick it up then. One of the members suggested this book and it fits right in. Honestly, it reminded me a lot of Geek Love. There was a hard-times carnival vibe with a character with supernatural powers. I have to admit that I liked it as it got weirder. But then when it snaps back into reality... not so much! Oh well. I enjoyed it too, I just wish they had a happier ending. Thanks so much for participating!
