I was bit surprised by them myself, until I realized that Tricia shows us in the end that the "Blue Room" is the planet Earth. So, really, Alice always was "in a blue room." Then I loved her interpretation all the more, because it made me think. Nice when a book does that- ya?

I remember when it first came into our store (Once Upon A Time in Montrose, CA) and since blue is my favorite color, I read it right away. (I had a blue room as a child also.) I try to sell it everyday and often succeed. Then I was at BEA, standing in line for some book signing and behind me in line was Jim Averbeck!, who I learned is young and single and I told him he was for sure a highly evolved male. He seemed to like that. He had one book in his bag and signed it for me for the store. It sold right away. I wanted you to know that I see what you see and appreciate what you appreciate.
