The Extra Day

In “The Extra Day Blackwood” not only takes us into the minds of three young people adventuring in the world for the first time, but makes us feel their excitement and zeal at witnessing the most mundane things. Algernon's alchemy is such that the whisper of the wind and the swaying of a tree becomes something magical and spectacular, and gives us the sense of a whole world waiting just a breath away.
