Those books sound good, you might also like THE BROOMWHISTLE CHRONICLES. In it the reader gets to meet Uncle Pindby and his Detective Academy for Near and Distant Relations. It's a charming story. You meet also THE DWILL – a curious new group on the scene of Science Fiction and Fantasy and their improbable war against the creatures in MONTROLLA. It's a fun read.
