Muriel and the Mystery

“[P]arent’s quiet, self-sufficient hero’s tale is one of latent curiosity and the rewards of trying something new. . . . Beautifully embodies the truism that everyone needs a little mystery in their life from time to time.” —Kirkus Reviews

“The unconventional story has just the right balance of whimsy and weirdness. . . . A beautifully offbeat exploration of the unknown and the joy that can be found in embracing life’s mysteries.” —Booklist

“[In] this charmingly idiosyncratic book. . . . Alex and Trudy find a solution to the transient nature of squashes, clocks and maybe everything. They defy convention and create their own universe of play, where art supplies and affection are more important than fitting in.” —Imaginary Elevators
