Editorial Review:
Product Description:
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.

- Couldn't get into this storyThe plot sounded good, but for some reason I couldn't get into this story. Not sure if it was the writing itself or the characters that annoyed me or what.

- Great role model appeal for older teensLesley Kagen's most recent novel, "Land of a Hundred Wonders" is a nifty fast-paced read with so many twists and turns you'll not want to leave your reading perch. Since the main character, Gibby McGraw is a twentyish charmer, I feel this story is also quite appealing for the older teen crowd. Gibby espouses many appropriate role model qualities and the themes addressed in this book are terrific life lessons. Hard work, determination, spunk and a positive attitude qualify Gibby as role model extraordinaire. ... Read More

- Delightful!To transport the reader to another place and another time is Lesley Kagen's special talent. Her characters are quirkey, some are charming and some you love to hate. This is a delightful read that is not to be missed!

- Wonderful and Witty!!If you're looking for a novel to curl up with on a quiet night, look no further! Land of a Hundred Wonders is one of my all time favorites. The story is deeply compelling, with a perfect mix of mystery and Southern charm.
Like so many other reviewers, I adored Gibby ~ she took an already wonderful story and made it phenomenal. Her spirit and perseverance in circumstances most would find daunting is a tribute to the human heart. Her innocence and spunk are intertwined with enough wicked humor ... Read More

- NQSThat would be....Not Quite Sure
I honestly can't tell if writing the book from the prospective of someone who is NQR is a cop out for NTG (not too great) writing or was extremely clever (yes that's an intentional reference;))
I don't think that the author ever really fully explored the Land of A Hundred Wonders or gave us a feel for why this was such a 'magical' place.
I found the whole story rather contrived even if we take the NQR aspect out of it..the characters were just a little too stereotypical ... Read More
