Brimstone and Marmalade by Aaron Corwin
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Mathilde didn’t want a demon. She wanted a pony.
“Ponies are expensive,” Mathilde’s mother said. “How about a nice little demon instead?”
Very cute, delightful little story. A little sad. Middle Grade, apparently? About what we want and the surprising things that can happen when we do not get what we thought we wanted.
Now I want a little demon, too! Happy Halloween!
