The Legend of Juggin Joe description:
|
|
|
HILARIOUS HILLTOWN HUMOR!!!
Something's brewing in the hilltown of Westerlo, and it's not Doc Jeckel's still full of 'Oh Be Joyful'. When young Joe, known for his misadventures and penchant for froggin', discovers he's possessed with a rare musical gift, 'Juggin Joe' is born, and neither the music industry nor the world will ever be the same.
Joe's climactic rise to international stardom leaves no doubt to his musical power, but is it strong enough to end the Cold War? If that weren't enough, he's caught at the crossroads of love, and it's more than just his future that hangs in the balance. What'll he do? You've got to read it to believe it!
The hilarious journey, written entirely in Yakel's branded 'country-speak' dialogue, will make you forget about life as a city-slicker, and leave you
wishing you were up in the hills!
If you enjoy a good laugh, 'Juggin Joe' is the book for you! Suitable for readers of all ages, the book contains no foul language and is packed with plenty of situational humor certain to be enjoyed again and again. MAKES A GREAT GIFT IDEA!

| Mary Schneider, The Muse Book Reviews: | "While the phonetic spellings littering the text made reading Juggin Joe a
challenge, the story gems make mining the lines worthwhile. The flying squirrel
attack alone makes Juggin Joe worth the read."

| Viviane Crystal, Reviewer/Founder, Crystal Reviews: | "... this writer who has created a unique style of "country speak" dialogue and
storytelling that is quaint and entertaining without the need for the raging
dysfunctional status besetting so much of contemporary fiction."

| Tami Brady, Editor/Reviewer, TCM Reviews: | " Many of the situations written into this narrative are extremely amusing.
Translating a lot of the text in order to actually understanding the story is
often a humorous task in itself."

| Lillian Brummet, Author of "Trash Talk": | "This book is certain to take you away from your reality, and into the shaded
mountains where moonshine is made!"

| Kristin Dreyer Kramer-Nights and Weekends.com: | "The Legend of Juggin Joe is a country-folk tall tale that mixes equal parts
heart and humor to create a memorable story full of lovable characters. In fact,
at times, Joe reminded me of Forrest Gump—a kind-hearted character who lived an
extraordinary life and changed the world just by being himself.
The entire story is narrated in the language of mountain folk—misspellings and
all—so be warned that it takes a while to get used to reading it. But the book’s
style makes the story come to life—and once you get used to it, you may just
find yahself thinkin’ and talkin’ in countryspeak. I know I did."
