Raised on tales of cowboys & pirates, eleven-year-old Reuben has little doubt that miracles happen all around us. Reuben was born with no air in his lungs & struggles with debilitating asthma, making him a boy who knows firsthand that life is a gift. When his older brother flees a controversial murder charge, Reuben, along with his older sister & father, set off on a journey that will take them to the Badlands & through a landscape more extraordinary than they could have anticipated. Enger’s novel is at once a heroic quest & a haunting meditation on the possibility of magic in the everyday world.

RSVP to Melissa at: (847) 510-2060.
