Jenny's Bubble Flight

Paperback (Vantage Press Dec. 1, 2008)
Eight-year-old Jenny liked to blow one flawless bubble at a time. Typically, she would watch one as it gradually changed from green to yellow to pink and then to clear. While she was blowing bubbles precisely one after another, she would think about her mother's health. Jenny understood that her mother was ill. One day, the transparent soapy film from her bubbles encloses Jenny within its glittering sphere. It seems scary to Jenny, but yet soothing at the same time. She wonders where this peculiar bubble is taking he! Such is the setting for this charming children's novel by Michelle Bandel. An exciting tale for young readers, this engaging narrative has Jenny meeting a friendly, beautiful butterfly named Tiger; finding some much-needed help from generous sea creatures; seeking guidance from an elegant, mysterious fairy; experiencing a terrifying situation with an enormous, misshapen beetle. Through her bubble travels, which take her past a popcorn volcano and under a pounding waterfall, Jenny realizes that even though she is only eight years old, she is able to find a cure for her mother's illness. Of course, first she'll have to find her way home…will her bubble allow that? Michelle Bandel invites you to come on the journey and find out!
