Mrs. Perivale and the Blue Fire Crystal is the first book in the much-beloved Mrs. Perivale series, which was written specifically for the viral meme below:
@broodingYAhero said, "It's amazing how many prophecies involve teens. You'd think they'd pick more emotionally stable people, with more free time. Like grandmas."
To which @Dinuriel replied, "...I would read the hell out of a series of a chosen eighty-five-year-old woman who goes on epic journeys throughout a dangerous and magical land, armed only with a cane and her stab-tastic knitting needles, accompanied by her six cats and a skittish-yet-devoted orderly who makes sure she takes her pills on time.
Wish Granted!
