Fantasy
Finding magic in the ordinary. In this warm debut novel, Ruth Emmie Lang teaches us about adventure and love in a beautifully written story full of nature and wonder. Orphaned, raised by wolves, and the proud owner of a horned pig named Merlin, Weylyn Grey knew he wasnβt like other people. But when he single-handedly stopped that tornado on a stormy Christmas day in Oklahoma, he realized just how different he actually was. That tornado was the first of many strange events that seem to follow Weylyn from town to town, although he doesnβt like to take credit. As amazing as these powers may appear, they tend to manifest themselves at inopportune times and places. From freak storms to trees that appear to grow over night, Weylynβs unique abilities are a curiosity at best and at worst, a danger to himself and the woman he loves. But Mary doesnβt care. Since Weylyn saved her from an angry wolf on her eleventh birthday, sheβs known that a relationship with him isnβt without its risks, but as anyone whoβs met Weylyn will tell you, once he wanders into your life, youβll wish heβd never leave. Beasts of Extraordinary Circumstance tells the story of Weylyn Greyβs life from the perspectives of the people who knew him, loved him, and even a few who thought he was just plain weird. Although he doesnβt stay in any of their lives for long, he leaves each of them with a story to tell. Stories about a boy who lives with wolves, great storms that evaporate into thin air, fireflies that make phosphorescent honey, and a house filled with spider webs and the strange man who inhabits it. There is one story, however, that Weylyn wishes he could change: his own. But first he has to muster enough courage to knock on Maryβs front door.
