This is gorgeous! I loved it!

The Iron druid books are on my TBR list!

I didn't get exactly what you were doing at first, but my feeling was as long as the girl was OK, I'd stick with it and read the last couple of paragraphs. If only all kids could have a temporary physical out once in a while like this ...

Thank you. Yes, the option of an "out" is a very nice thing, so long as it's safe.
