From the national bestselling author of Whistling in the Dark comes another funny, poignant, unforgettable story.
The summer Gibby McGraw catches her big break, the cicadas are humming, and it's so warm even the frogs are sweating. Brain damaged after a tragic car accident that took both her parents, Gibby is now NQR (Not Quite Right), a real challenge for a fledgling newspaper reporter. Especially when she stumbles upon the dead body of the next governor of Kentucky, Buster Malloy.
Armed with her trusty blue spiral note-book, Gibby figures that solving the murder might be her best chance to prove to everyone that she can become Quite Right again. But she gets more than she bargained for when she uncovers a world of corruption, racism, and family secrets in small town Cray Ridge. Lucky for her, she's also about to discover that some things are far more important than all the brains in the world, and that miracles occur in the most unexpected moments.

reviewed Land of a Hundred Wonders on January 18, 2009 Land of a Hundred Wonders
Gifted bestselling author, Lesley Kagen, has weaved another masterful yarn with her second publication, Land of A Hundred Wonders. Set in a small, rural town in Kentucky, we are quickly immersed in the dialect, culture and world of the 1970's. The heroine, Gabby McGraw, has suffered a terrible accident and family tragedy and struggles to rebuild her identity, memories, relationships and family network. Through the masterful use of metaphor, humor and intrigue, Kagen humanizes universal struggles with grief, loss, racial tensions and the difficulty of change. We get to experience the inner workings of a young woman who longs to be "quite right" and recognized for her unique talents by a world that can be cruel, judgmental and predatory toward those with developmental or cognitive impairments. Each of the characters is authentic and memorable. I highly recommend this excellent, fictional work of art.
