Book Review: The Improbable Wonders of Moojie Littleman


Summary

The Improbable Wonders of Moojie Littleman is a magical realism novel by Robin Gregory. Moojie is a crippled child under the care of the nuns of San Miguel de las Gaviotas. The Littlemans adopted him and loved him like their own. His life changed drastically when his mother died because his father sent him to his grandfather at St. Isidore’s Fainting Goat Dairy. Moojie didn’t get along with his Pappy which made him long for a place where he would belong. When he started to meet mystical creatures and discovered his own supernatural abilities, he felt like he belonged in the mystical world, rather than with humans who seemed indifferent towards him because of his physical disability.


Review

This book is suitable for all ages! I thought I was about to read a children’s book, but I realized that even adults would love this story. Who wouldn’t want to read about a crippled boy who has extraordinary abilities like having extrasensory perception and healing power? And it’s not only his character who’s interesting, there are Light-Eaters who can speak any language they want, there’ Ninti who can see the past and the future, there are friendly dragonflies, and more.


I’m giving this book 5 out of 5 stars. It’s a heartwarming, coming-of-age story that teaches the value of friendship, family, and self-worth. I really wish that this great literary piece would be adapted into a movie! I highly recommend this to ALL readers regardless of age. This book is a MUST-READ!
