A Tale Magnolious by Suzanne M Nelson
Fans of Kate DiCamillo and Katherine Applegate will warm to this story of an orphan and an elephant who band together to save a lovelorn town, relying on an eccentric crew and a couple of miracles along the way. Nitty Luce is an orphan--and a thief. Magnolious is an elephant--and a fugitive. When the two misfits come face to face in the middle of a blinding dust storm, they form an immediate bond. But with Nitty hiding a stolen pouch of gleaming green seeds and Mag mere moments from being hanged, the two don't have much time to get to know each other. Escaping into the storm, they end up on a barren farm in Fortune's Bluff, a town withered by a decade of dust storms. While most would be deterred by the farm's curmudgeonly owner, Windle Homes, Nitty sees past his harsh exterior. She promises to bring the farm back to life--with the help of Mag and those little green seeds. Soon enough, Nitty and Mag are harvesting their first crop, and they're quickly the talk of the town. But as the townspeople become hopeful, the Mayor Neezer Snollygost becomes suspicious. Will Nitty and Mag be able to save Fortune's Bluff and make a new, safe home for themselves? Doing so might just take a miracle. . . .Suzanne Nelson is a writer and editor who enjoys Mexican cuisine, particularly cheese enchiladas. Her parents are still glad for forcing her to take five years of Spanish in school since she will never forget what chapulines are. Cake Pop Crush, Macarons at Midnight, and Hot Chocolate Hearts are among her gastronomic romance middle grade stories. She grew up in Southern California, went to college in Texas, and worked as a children's book editor in New York City for eight years. She presently resides in the Connecticut town of Ridgefield.
