Description
YA Fantasy/Magical Realism
Set at the turn of the nineteenth century, THE IMPROBABLE WONDERS OF MOOJIE LITTLEMAN is a heartrending, coming-of-age story, with a dose of humor and mystical realism. After his adoptive mother dies in a freak accident, eight year-old, disabled, bi-racial Moojie is sent by his disapproving father to live at St. Isidore's Fainting Goat Dairy, where he befriends a clan of outcasts from an alternate universe. Six years later, this forbidden friendship and subsequent events reveal an extraordinary boy’s tale of loss and connection, first love, and self-discovery.
The book is available in both print and ebook formats.
The Improbable Wonders of Moojie Littleman recently won the 2015 Gelett Burgess Book Award, and was featured on the Kirkus Best Indie Books of December 2015.
