THE MAGICAL IMPERFECT
For fans of Wonder, an affecting story of two outcasts who become friends.
Etan has stopped speaking since his mother left. His father and grandfather don't know how to help him. His friends have given up on him.
When Etan is asked to deliver a grocery order to the outskirts of town, he realizes he's at the home of Malia Agbayani, also known as the Creature. Malia stopped going to school when her acute eczema spread to her face, and the bullying became too much.
As the two become friends, other kids tease Etan for knowing the Creature. But he believes he might have a cure for Malia's condition, if only he can convince his family and hers to believe it too. Even if it works, will these two outcasts find where they fit in?
An uplifting novel-in-verse about the healing powers of friendship and empathy.
Chris Baron is a graduate of the MFA Program in Poetry at San Diego State University. For the past 17 years, he's worked as Professor of English and the Director of the Writing Center at San Diego City College. His first book, Under the Broom Tree, Part of Lantern Tree: Four Books of Poems (City Works Press, 2012) won the San Diego Book Award for Best Book of Poetry.
