Will Do Magic for Small Change
A Novel of What Might Have Been
Book - 2016
"Cinnamon Jones dreams of stepping on stage and acting her heart out like her famous grandparents, Redwood and Wildfire. But at 5'10" and 180 pounds, she's theatrically challenged. Her family life is a tangle of mystery and deadly secrets, and nobody is telling Cinnamon the whole truth. Before her older brother died, he gave Cinnamon The Chronicles of the Great Wanderer, a tale of a Dahomean warrior woman and an alien from another dimension who perform in Paris and at the 1893 Chicago World's Fair. The Chronicles may be magic or alien science, but the story is definitely connected to Cinnamon's family secrets. When an act of violence wounds her family, Cinnamon and her theatre squad determine to solve the mysteries and bring her worlds together. "--Publisher website.

Add a CommentSome books defy description. This is one. At once magic and sci - fi, an homage to Eshun and a story of growing up, queer fiction and African American fiction... it is a magical book to be read slowly, digested, and to learn to love. Mind. Blown.
