UP FROM JERICHO TEL

Aladdin, New York, 1998, reprint.  ISBN 0-689-82332-0 / 978-0-689-82332-9.  Trade soft cover, 178 pages.  Very good; a bit of wear and colour chipping at tips, a few small colour chips along spine edges; binding sound with lightly tanning pages; appears unread.  ‘… Jeanmarie forms an unlikely friendship with another outsider, Malcolm Soo, over an equally unlikely activity – burying dead animals at the remote spot they name Jericho Tel.  It’s at Jericho Tel that Jeanmarie and Malcolm encounter Tallulah, a famous actress who happens to be dead – although not too dead to send them on a magical quest to find out who stole the famous Regina Stone.  But their search leads Jeanmarie and Malcolm to something far more valuable than a missing diamond – adventure, friendship, and self-knowledge.’ (from rear wrap)
