The Improbable Wonders of Moojie Littleman

A disabled orphan discovers he has miraculous abilities linked to the Light-Eaters, a primordial race that warns intolerant, early-1900s villagers of an upcoming natural disaster.

Having won a number of awards, Robin Gregory's The Improbable Wonders of Moojie Littleman is being lauded as a classic. A haunting, visionary tale spun in the magical realist tradition of Gabriel Garcia Marquez's One Hundred Years of Solitude and Madeleine L'Engle's A Wrinkle in Time, the profoundly unique voice and heart-stirring narrative recall great works of fiction that explore the universal desire to belong.
