Return to Augie Hobble
by Lane Smith
Perhaps one of the more curious "children's" books I've yet to read. The initial appeal was due to the author, Lane Smith, as I knew him as one of the two authors behind The True Story of the Three Little Pigs, a book I thoroughly embraced as an adult and teacher.
Return to Augie Hobble is wild and wooly, confusing (yes, I was confused for a bit) and thought provoking, supernatural and curious, sad and uplifting. I did not know where Lane Smith was taking me, but I absorbed every minute of it and devoured this tale in two days, plus a few preliminary pages prior to the devouring.
The back inside book jacket mentions that Smith is married to Molly Leach, who is the designer of this book. I was interested enough to do a little research and found this video about their collaboration.
If you are looking for a different kind of read, check this one out!
