By Robin Gregory
Publisher: Mad Mystical Journey Press

After his mother dies, disabled Moojie is sent from the mythical American 1900s village of San Miguel de las Gaviotas to live with his grandfather at St. Isidore’s Fainting Goat Dairy. Desperate for friendship, he befriends a reviled clan of outcasts mistaken for Native Americans, and learns they are not from this world. Moojie shares more than supernatural powers in common with the ones who call themselves Light-Eaters.
Wanting to re-create a family of his own, Moojie undergoes life-changing trials, trials complicated by the girl he falls for, a bully-magician, the cantankerous, war-hero Pappy, and the meddlesome, Irish Auntie Tilda.
An earthquake forces Moojie to make a harrowing, last-ditch effort to save what family he has. If he survives, he will face a surprising destiny.
