| Summary: | "The year: 1920. When famed magician, Dr. Marvellus Djinn, selects a motley crew of talented teens to tour her theme park of magic and mythological creatures, all are elated for the opportunity. First there's Brenda, the kleptomaniac inventor of thingamajigs no one knew they needed. Then there's Omen, a strongman itching to prove himself in a brand-new arena. Wise beyond her years, Clair, is a business savvy sage who's been making ends meet since the age of twelve. And finally, there's Elliot, the chemistry whiz who believes he's one ingredient away from concocting a cure for bigotry. Once they arrive, the odd scholars realize Dr. Djinn is more than just a wealthy magician eager to provide Colored folks with an escape from Jim Crow. From cotton candy teleportation to haunted obelisks and swallowing monsters, The Motherland packs a thrilling, and dangerous, punch." -- Page [4] of cover. |
