Eight year-old Little Jackie feels like the family freak but lacks the courage to speak up. An unexpected trip through a closet keyhole into a magical land brings adventure, new friends, and a fearsome enemy who must be overcome before Little Jackie can return home. The Big Adventures of Little Jackie Mac, the debut book from Toronto based author Sandy McLeod, is written in a traditional narrative structure which starts in reality, but deals with non-traditional themes and characters. A riveting read for youths, teens and adults, a psyche into the mind of growing up 'different'. Ms. McLeod who was born and raised in small town Ontario brings her audience directly into her own personal experience thus giving the reader real insight and hopefully understanding to a subject that is sometimes considered taboo in the mainstream and often avoided even by those who are directly affected by it.
