Perchance to Feast: a Novel of Impossible Possibilities Ellen Belitsky

Chance is a cosmic chameleon with an appetite for entertainment-and he's famished. The only thing that will satisfy him is a feast of quirky characters simmered in outrageous situations. He'll take delicious deviltry and caprice and chaos for his main dish, with a side of wounding and weeping. Cakes of kindness will be his dessert. Traveling through space, Chance drops into Earth's Hometown Junior High, where he maneuvers bully Victoria into the path of Sadie, a Russian immigrant. Victoria so angers Sadie that she and her friend, Lillian, write what Chance whispers in Sadie's ear: the tale of Subring, an evil city where Victoria can be rightfully punished. Today, sixty-five years after Subring was written, the barrier between Fantasy and Reality falls. Now it's not Victoria but her daughter, the nefarious Hera Starr, and her students, the dastardly Drama Divas, who are captured by Subring along with an innocent victim. The only one capable of rescuing the innocent is Sadie's granddaughter, a teenage Robin Hood with a record. Chance chortles with glee: the main course is served!"The depth of imagination and creative imagery will be relished by readers of all ages. Don't miss the chance to feast on this delicious story."-Kathleen Kubik, author of Neither Sand Nor Sea
