The Neddiad

(2) 4-6 The story is a nostalgic, oddball sightseeing adventure through late 1940s Los Angeles. On his family's trip west, Neddie meets part-time Navajo shaman Melvin, who gives him a stone turtle that can save civilization. The narrative's relaxed pace leaves ample room for affectionate descriptions. Readers will be drawn into Pinkwater's portrait of old Hollywood, embellished with loopy supernatural intrigue.
