There are lots of books about schools for magical kids: Hogwarts, Camp Half-Blood, Unseen University, Strange Academy, and on and on.

But what about a retirement home for magical grownups? Imagine reaching a ripe old age, children and grandchildren grown and gone, and one day you find a gold-embossed letter in your mailbox:

"Greetings!
You have been selected for residence at the Moonfrost Home for Exceptional Elders."

Somebody write a novel about a magical retirement home. I want to read it.

@catselbow Great idea! Not exactly school, but I'd appreciate an adult invitation to Narnia. I can't tell you how long I've been standing inside this wardrobe closet waiting for something like this to happen.

@paulawhyman @catselbow I might be a proper grownup 99.99% of the time, but I still gently touch the back of every wardrobe and closet I use just in case it doesn’t end where it’s supposed to. 😄

Discovering the boundaries of the possible. That's just good scientific inquiry!
