Mungie
"Sometimes, all you need to soothe a yearning for acceptance can be found in very unlikely places — like the fourth floor of a three-floor library."
Every Saturday morning, twelve-year-old Sarah Beasley arrives at the library with an Indian Head penny hidden in the secret compartment of her favorite backpack. She knows the rules. She knows the librarian — she calls him Locomotive Bob. And she knows that somewhere on the third floor, past the elevator that only goes to the second, there is a room that holds a book that shows exactly one chapter per week.
The book is called Mungie.
It belongs only to her.
No one else can read it. Previous chapters have always disappeared by the time she returns. The next chapter never arrives early. And the story — about a sassy, precocious boy who survives one impossible situation after another without ever quite understanding how close to disaster he really is — keeps her coming back every single Saturday without fail.
Some stories find you at exactly the right moment.
This is one of them.
New chapters posted every Saturday. All previous chapters remain available in the Story Library.
