'My first (MG) gift to my newsletter subscribers is a brand-new story set soon after The Dragon with a Chocolate Heart and starring Silke in her new role as waitress at the Chocolate Heart. It's called 'Girl in Boots,' and it's about what happens when a truly dangerous visitor arrives at the chocolate shop one day. Luckily, as you guys know from the first book, Silke is NEVER over-awed by anyone - and together, she and Aventurine make a fierce and unstoppable team.
(Note: Girl in Boots is NOT a standalone story - it really wouldn't make sense to anyone who hadn't read The Dragon with a Chocolate Heart first.)' - Stephanie Burgis
