"When I look back on my life, it seems as if I grew up by accident. But at the end of the day, that's the best way to grow up, isn't it?" An unexpected gift arrives for 13 year old troublemaker Jillian Brighton: a special antique telescope that can see into parallel worlds. As she learns to use it, she discovers a whole civilization on the moon. But her friends don't believe her, and her suspicious parents want the telescope sent back to where it came from. Then a shady lawyer says that the telescope might have been stolen, and that he is coming to take it away. Yet Jillian is determined to keep it. A race is on to find the eccentric scientist who gave it to her, and then to prove she was the first to discover the World of the Moon-People. "Jillian Brighton" is a novella (approx. 18,000 words, 52 pages) and a spinoff of The Fellwater Tales trilogy. (So it's not necessary to have read the other books in the series.) Although its main characters are in their early teens, it's not exactly a "young adult" story. It contemplates some philosophical questions about human nature and about growing up; but mostly, it's a modern-day fairy tale about knowledge, science, childhood wonder, and discovery.
