Mascot

by Michael J. Vaughn

Zelda's life is in a rut, until the mascot of the local baseball team makes her the object of his comic gags. After an on-field game of musical chairs, Zelda opens her consolation gift to find her favorite candy and a poem that cuts to the heart of her loneliness. It would seem that the man inside the gorilla suit is someone she knows! An unexpectedly deep romance from the award-winning author of The Popcorn Girl.

Reviews

[Ann · Rating 4 out of 5]

A dark comedy, funny and sad, dreams are born and dreams are smashed, friends are made and betrayed, domestic violence but not like you expect. Poor scary Zelda, mean as a gorilla and also a sexy dancer. Mascot costume gives a place to hide. I hope my random comments don't count as a spoiler. A serious novel is hiding in the mascot suit.
