The Improbable Wonders of Moojie Littleman
Listing Details
Early 1900s, Western America. A lonely, disabled boy with a nasty temper and miraculous healing powers, Moojie is taken by his father to live at his grandfather's wilderness farm. There, Moojie falls for a girl from an otherworldly clan that he wants to join. Following a series of trials—magical and mystical—he is summoned by the call to a great destiny ... if only he can survive one last terrifying trial. Having won 22 awards, The Improbable Wonders of Moojie Littleman is being lauded as a classic. A haunting, visionary tale spun in the magical realist tradition of Madeleine L'Engle's A Wrinkle in Time and Gabriel Garcia Marquez’s One Hundred Years of Solitude, the profoundly unique voice and heart-stirring narrative recall great works of fiction that explore the universal desire to belong.
