Fiction
What would a novel written by an 8-year-old girl be like? Mocky's Revinge answers that question, complete with comic misspellings and childish misunderstandings. Set in a small Ohio town in 1985, it tells the story, in the words of third-grader Carrie Ann Watson, of how her gentle, wry, openly gay Uncle Mocky overcomes the spiteful prejudice of her mother's boyfriend Roy, and reconciles with her dying grandfather. The result is odd, playful, funny, touching, and entirely original.
