Mittenwood, PA: Camber Nong

By Philip Ejike

Fifteen-year-old Mittenwood Okoro is a bumbler-with good intentions. She lives to be kind, but every time she tries to help somebody, her efforts end in humiliating disaster. One day, however--what luck --she manages to save a man's life. Unfortunately, this heroic act immediately leads to a whole heap of outlandish consequences that make her life all the worse.

Will Mittenwood ever catch a break? Or is she doomed to an existence as a misfortune magnet? The answers will reveal themselves in this witty and charming adventure.

This is a Lower Young Adult title-that is to say, it blends the charm and imagination typical of Upper Middle Grade, with the more complex characters and narratives found in Young Adult. It is perfect for readers who enjoy the wit of Diana Wynne Jones, the whimsy of Daniel Handler and the schoolgirl shenanigans of V.E. Schwab.
