2016 Silver Falchion Finalist Young Adult Fiction Ages 14+ and 2016 Newbery Medal nominee,
Mord McGhee's wonderfully wise Old Flames and Heroes is the perfect coming of age companion for grads--from grade school, high school, college, and beyond! Connecting childhood to adulthood in a delightful way. From soaring to a city built into a waterfall to great sights as experienced by the young protagonist, Mord McGhee writes an odyssey filled with humor, luck, love, and magic follows along.
He encourages readers to find the true meaning of the little blue sun which suddenly appeared in the sky.
In a starred review, world-renowned adventurer Adam Davies notes, "Mord McGhee's Old Flames and Heroes is a great addition to the genre (young adult fantasy)."
McGhee's message is simple and fun, capturing the great balance of life and a parent's fears for their children, but through it all he makes it easy to laugh and believe in happy endings.
A wonderful gift for anyone starting a new phase in their life!
"We measure a celebration, beginning anywhere. This one seems as good as any other. If you are a Fortean, don't know you are or want to be one, take delight today in a new uniquely intellectual American book by Mord McGhee."
