The Marvelous Adventures of Gwendolyn Gray by B.A. Williamson.

Gwendolyn Gray lives in a predictable, gray world. Everyone wears gray uniforms, the sky is always overcast & cloudy, everyone conforms to the social norm and no one has any imagination. No one, that is, except Gwendolyn. Not only can Gwendolyn imagine the world as a different, more colorful place, but sometimes the things she imagines come to life like an emerald green leaf and a pair of bright birds. This unique trait of Gwendolyn’s gets her in trouble, as you can imagine, and she gets to meet pirates and dirigible captains and scary creatures that try to erase her and everything else that has a spark of creativity in them.

This is a YA adventure book that has good adult crossover appeal. You can find if on our shelves downstairs in our Youth Library in the J section. It’s call number is PPB J WIL.
