Samuel Christopher McCubbins is an extraordinary boy. Brave, creative, strong, charming, he is everything a hero should be. This book is not about Samuel. Instead, this book is about Albert, Samuel’s cousin, who is in every way absolutely normal. Yet when Albert is mistakenly whisked away to a land in peril, he is forced to look deep inside to find the hero within. Albert is not alone in this task. Along the way, he finds education, hope, and friendship from a dishonored knight, a flying bear, a fierce warrior girl, and a carousel horse rancher, among others. He grows to love the land, the creatures that inhabit it, and most of all, the parts of himself he never knew existed. But can he, even with his newfound strength, bear the weight of the heartbreak that awaits? Filled with magic, humor, and insight, The Incredible Adventures of Absolutely Normal is sure to appeal to children of all ages.
