Overview

It's startling enough to have a phoenix hatch in your house, but even more startling when it talks. The vain and ancient bird accompanies the children on a series of adventures through time and space which are rarely straightforward, but always exciting.

Magical!

It ocurred to me that this story might have been an inspiration to J.K. Rowlings. One of the children says, "I wish there were a school for magic!" It's a great adventure. I would only warn parents that the children in this story seem to play with matches quite a bit--rather dangerous in real life!
