No human being would willingly wear pants that zipped off at the knee—no normal human being—unless they had rocket-thrusters in place of their detachable feet.

YES! And it's fabulous!!! Although at 423 pages, it may be too long for a Fairmont bedtime story...alas!
...dibs borrowing it when you are done....
I borrowed it myself, from South Windsor Public Library! It's going back tonight...
I will OF COURSE purchase a copy of my own someday, but I might wait until it comes out in paperback.
