Fruit of the Vine

By Ellen Weisberg and Ken Yoffe

Based on the story, FRUIT OF THE VINE (first published in the literary journal, PKA's Advocate), with illustrations adapted from the multi-award-winning 3D animation, "Justin and the Werloobee." In FRUIT OF THE VINE, we meet Justin, a sensitive, introspective boy whose physical features and personality make him a convenient target for many of his cruel peers. One night, he wakes to find himself on a mysterious island, which is inhabited by a horde of bizarre creatures. Despite his desperation to find out where he is and, more importantly, how to get home, he becomes involved in the plight of Irvino, a beast who is ostracized on this island much in the way that Justin is in his own world. The story ends with a twist as Justin, in helping Irvino, ends up helping himself by making a lifelong friend out of Irvino. FRUIT OF THE VINE is unique from other stories in the fantasy genre in that it is meant not only for the grade school-aged fantasy enthusiast, but also for anyone interested in the topic of bullies, and how altruistic qualities can develop in children.
