The Adventures of Emily Finfeather

"A feather not just for the birds! A magical, humorous tale of good, evil, vengeance, and forgiveness, The Feathernail is a delight for children and adults alike!"
--- Ray Bradbury
The Adventures of Emily Finfeather, Book: I The Feathernail and Other Gifts, is a tale of altruism and magic for mature children and immature adults.

Emily Finfeather is an orphan who lives with her angry and silent Grandmother in a dark, windy, old house.
On a field trip to the zoo, Emily is locked inside the aviary by evil classmates, led by the popular, nasty Dixy Yippet. During her long, lonely night in the cage, she sets free the birds. As a reward, she is given the feathernail, a bird feather where her little fingernail once was. The feather allows her to enter people's dreams, and change them.
Added by three magically gifted friends and a sarcastic talking cat, Emily fights real monsters, school bullies, and evil magicians in her quest to find her parents.

Emily was written many, many years ago in the long ago time of 2005 when books were made of paper and ink. The printed version of this book has humorous, illustrated footnotes, the Kindle and audio versions don't.
