    I’ve never been to Detroit but I’m suddenly craving Lafayette coney dogs! Jacquelyn Floyd-Priskorn has combined several favorite fairytales, the Wiz, and some Little Shop of Horrors to take us on a whirlwind tour of the motor city. With great humor (the narrators’ names!) and obvious affection for this great city, Floyd-Priskorn leaves us all feeling imbued with the spirit of Detroit!

    I just had a smile on my face the entire time I read this. It’s an ode to a city, to beloved characters, to sports, and to whatever is in your heart. Floyd-Priskorn turns out to be the ultimate tour guide. After reading this, you’ll be booking a flight to Detroit.

    I've only spent one night in Detroit and that was because I missed a connecting flight and had to catch a new one out the next morning. After reading Into the D, I wish I could have had a journey like Goldie of Oxford. I love new takes on the fairy tales and Floyd breathes so much humor and funny lines into this one that I feel that I have discovered all the beauty that Detroit has to offer and can be a beacon of light for this great city with the little bit of spirit now inside me.

    Mixing a travelogue and a fairy tale (both interesting journey stories) seems like a natural, but funny enough, I haven't read many. Thanks to Jacquelyn Floyd-Priskorn, consider that remedied. I love the way Jacquie's chorus group (with THE best names ever) engage the audience with some improvisation right off the bat, drawing the audience onto their side. From there, we meet wonderful modern interpretations of tried-and-true fairy tale archetypes for a wild ride through modern day Detroit. Now I want Jacquie to write a Cleveland version, a New York version, etc. This left me happy ever after.
