Pairalee Pendleton
Xlibris Corporation, 2001
Blade Chatter--Wonderful Hitchcocky-type stories!
+ Brrrrrr.....
+ Great Short Stories, better than Stephen King
I have really enjoyed Blade Chatter by Pairalee Pendleton. Any
one with a name like that (Pairalee) must be a little quaint and
even somewhat off-center. She delivers. Quirky, macabre stories
that you can read, skipping around, one after the other or the
whole thing straight through. The ...

ooh I just love Eloise!
+ Spunky, Sweet, & Super fun!
Awesome book! Totally loved it--my three year old finds her fascinating. "Why does she want to pour a pitcher of water down the mail chute, mommy?" She's a naughty girl but such a wonderfully creative and self reliant one! I think she is a great role model for my little girls!
