From the "wonderfully quirky imagination" of the
New York Times-bestselling author: A tabloid reporter is surprised to find magic in a mundane world (
The New York Times).
Vera Pearl is a staff writer for
This Week, a supermarket tabloid which trades in the bizarre and the absurd-though rarely, if ever, the true. No one is better than Vera at imagining these weird, wild stories, because more than anything, she wants them to be real.
During one particularly slow week, Vera takes a photograph snapped by a colleague showing two children selling lemonade outside their Brooklyn home and drafts up a scoop to fit the snap, the story of two enterprising children who have discovered-and are profiting off of-the literal Fountain of Youth. By astonishing coincidence-or perhaps by magic-the details she concocts about the children (except for the properties of the tap water) turn out to be true, and hundreds of miracle-seekers descend upon this modern Lourdes-in-Flatbush.
The resulting lawsuit sends this master of hoaxes into a very real tailspin: she is fired, her estranged husband flies in from Los Angeles to whisk away their precocious young daughter, and Vera takes off for Arizona to attend a meeting of the Cryptobiological Society, hoping for evidence of their furry quarry, Bigfoot. Just one glance, and Vera's longing to finally transcend the quotidian may come true...
