Book #3 of the
Aunt Maddie's Castle series
by Genie Gabriel
a romantic comedy novella
rated PG-13
I'm wrapping up the weekend with an excerpt from the third book of the Aunt Maddie's Castle series, No More Poodle Skirts. This book features Mr. Razzles, a dog based on one of my own furbabies. He also had challenges with his eyesight, though I'm not an inventor like Uncle Horace, who fashioned a pair of cool goggles to give Mr. Razzles some interesting sights…
EXCERPT from No More Poodle Skirts
As soon as they burst over the drawbridge, the celebration began. Once again, Horace came up from his workroom to join in.
“Let’s show everyone your new goggles.” Horace placed another pair of goggles on Mr. Razzles, then stepped back and smiled.
Razzles tipped his head and took a few tentative steps.
“So what do you think?” Horace beamed proudly.
“He seems a little unsteady,” the teenager, Devon, said.
“What’s different about these goggles?” Maddie asked.
I don’t think things are supposed to be this way, Razzles said to Maddie.
She took the goggles off Razzles’ head and looked through them. “Ooh. Everything is upside-down.”
“But I thought--drat it all.” Horace took the goggles and disappeared down the stairs toward his workshop.
