Description
Blackwood's The Extra Day follows children into a world where wonder interrupts ordinary time. Chapters trace the material and fancy as the seed of wonder. They move through the death of a mere fact and fact edged with fancy. Then come the birth and growth of wonder, before imagination wakes and wonder hides. A priest of wonder, fact and wonder in clash, and Judy's and Tim's particular adventures follow, as time hesitates and Maria stirs.
The book gives a children's fantasy of philosophy, where a day outside time lets young heroes see the world afresh. Blackwood writes with lyric feeling, favoring mood and image over plot machinery. The book suits readers of classic children's fantasy, and adults who enjoy stories where wonder itself is the adventure, granted for one extra day.
