Picky Eaters #1 is a short but highly entertaining read by S.J. Higbee.
What Amazon says
This tale about family life, dragon-style, is escapist fun for adults. All proceeds to go to mental health charities. Castellan the Black, now better known as Casta the Grey, has led an eventful life, but these days he’s content to live alone in his mountaintop lair, fending off occasional attacks from the food and waiting to die. At least, that’s what he tells himself. Babysitting his young grandchildren is definitely not on his to do list.
My review
I really enjoyed Picky Eaters #1, a fine tale about an aging and disillusioned dragon lord called Castellan. Castellan’s grandchildren, Sammy Jo and Billy Bob, are staying with him at his lair. An unfortunate incident results in the ‘food’ or local humans being angered and marching on his lair with evil intentions. Castellan and the two children are forced to flee and seek refuge at the home of Castellan’s daughter, the children’s mother.
There are lots of fun family dynamics when the ‘old man’ moves in and it makes for highly entertaining reading. Castellan also discovers that he has passed down a ‘time travelling’ gene to his granddaughter and the pair of them get caught up in an exciting adventure.
Will Castellan survive teaching Sammy Jo to manage her ‘gift’? Will Billy Bob survive enraging his father through an accident? You’ll have to read this novella to find out.
It is amusing and fun and will keep your nose to your kindle.
