Maple Lee Zuckerman and Magic Junction Village

Magic Junction Village is in crisis. It's late autumn: who will bring in the harvest if the Northern Sprites -heavy lifters who regularly care for the crops- are missing in action, frozen in Magic Junction Lake? No one knows what to do, but Maple Lee and Grandma Ella set themselves to the task. During a sleepover at Grandma's, both gain insights and clues from characters they meet in their dreams. Grandmother and granddaughter cobble together a solution that involves the entire village.



Maple Lee Zuckerman and Magic Junction Village, intended for the 3 to a 7-year-old audience, is a strong and loving engagement between older and younger generations.This"Grandma-tested" tale, has sparked the imaginations of adults and kids alike. Emphasis on dialogue and an action-filled story goes forward to include community involvement and cooperation.



"Later, after reading Maple Lee to my 4 and 6-year old grandson and granddaughter, I found them devising a dance like the one in this tale. I love this story. It's magical." Tracy Egan
