Sweet Story

The end of the world has never been sweeter.Sally is an odd little girl It s not because she dresses as if she s from the Edwardian era or spends most of her time playing with creepy talking dolls It s because she chases rainbows as if they were butterflies She believes that if she finds the end of the rainbow then magical things will happen to her leprechauns will shower her with gold and fairies will grant her every wish But when she actually does find the end of a rainbow one day, and is given the opportunity to wish for whatever she wants, Sally asks for something that she believes will bring joy to children all over the world She wishes that it would rain candy forever She had no idea that her innocent wish would lead to the extinction of all life on earth.Sweet Story is a children s book gone horribly wrong What starts as a cute, charming tale of rainbows and wishes soon becomes a vicious, unrelenting tale of survival in an inhospitable world full of cannibals and rapists The result is one of the darkest comedies you ll read all year, told with the wit and style you ve come to expect from a Mellick novel.
