The Entirely True Story of the Unbelievable Fib

264 pp. | Algonquin | September, 2015 | Trade ISBN 978-1-61620-498-3 $16.95
(3) 4-6 Myth meets mystery when eleven-year-old Prudence Potts receives an anonymous summons from the FIB (Fantasy Investigation Bureau) to puzzle out why Nordic giants have come to town. With the direction of her new friend ABE and the eccentric, Baba Yaga–like Mister Fox, Pru solves the riddle and repairs her strained relationship with her mother. Shaughnessy's folkloric scaffolding results in colorful if somewhat busy world-building.
