Book Review: The Penny Jumper

The Penny Jumper 

Yes, a novella, only 142 pages. It's an excellent tale. I liked all the aspects: characterization, plot, setting, etc. I am enthralled with those who weave all this into a new story, sucking me in to a different world. Our hero is an amazingly smart young woman, which also inspires. I am woman, hear me roar.

The book includes three short stories. Grippando is a prolific writer, although I'd never heard of him. Well worth the read.
I think I will download his others on hubby's Kindle!
