This month, CFRB presents The Wordsmith, the Kid, and the Electrolux by Clifford Leigh.
About the Book:
"I was not certain if the whole world I had fallen into was upside-down and I was right-side-up, or vice versa."
Young Corey's secret life began the day his father refused him a cup of coffee. It drew him, again and again, to the coiling dragon on his father's green Chinese box and to the Carnival Surprise of the ice-cream man, Mr. Good. But he had no idea his desires would propel him with a whoosh into the strange, dark closet...or a headlong, terrifying fall and the adventure of a lifetime. It was a strange day...but nothing like the night Corian Griffin met the Electrolux.
Fantasy. Adventure. Surprise. A tale of growing up and growing wise.
