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
