Lumpotopia: The Improbable Lives of Two Boys: Flo and Eddy
"I heard every word. I laughed. I cried. I laughed some more. This story saved my life." Lumpo
The Improbable Life of Flo and Eddy is a heart-warming tale of the childhood adventures of two boys. Flo and Eddy are born almost at the same time and grow up as next door neighbors and lifelong pals. Their great friendship unfolds at a time that older readers might remember and in a place that young readers will long to the 1960s.
Together, Flo and Eddy encounter a world full of creative shopkeepers, magnificent nuns, mysterious immigrants, clever older sisters, brilliant parents, priests who are full of surprises, giants, mentors (not to be confused with Minotaurs), along with a host of somewhat confused angels. And, most confusing of all, girls.
If your great loves include skiing, blues-based rock, chemistry sets, donuts, hunting, philosophy, fireworks, Italian food, childhood friendships and falling in love, this novel is for you.
Perfect for any reader who has ever survived Grade 5 or who has longed for a Christmas gift that seems more and more like an impossible dream. Lumpotopia is written for an early teen to young adult audience. And their grandparents.
Author Tony Warren has embraced the power of having a great vocabulary. He gives his characters the gift of words. Lots of words. Words for discoveries, for science, for inventions, for romance, for critical thinking, for families, for moral dilemmas, for grief and forgiveness. The result is a book for anyone who wants to encounter the power of friendship and a world full of love.
