Nenu The Magical Wizard
By Kellie Madison
Genre: Children’s Book
Eight-year-old Jerry Wheeler isn’t exactly a star athlete.
After striking out at bat and missing an easy catch in the outfield, he’s feeling like a total failure-especially with Grandpa Craig watching from the stands. More than anything, Jerry wants to make him proud.
But everything changes when he stumbles into the forest and discovers Nenu-the quirky, four-toed, and slightly chubby magical wizard-trapped under a log. Eager to be freed, Nenu makes Jerry a tempting offer: rescue him, and he’ll grant Jerry a magical power of his choice.
Suddenly, the possibilities seem endless! Jerry imagines himself devouring endless ice cream, flying through the treetops, and even becoming a superhero. But as each fantasy plays out in his mind, he realizes that magic might not be the answer to everything.
With Nenu’s wisdom (and a good dose of sass), Jerry learns that true power comes from within-and that believing in himself is the greatest magic of all. And maybe, just maybe, that’s what will truly make Grandpa Craig proud.
Filled with humor, adventure, and heart, Nenu the Magical Wizard is a delightful tale about confidence, self-discovery, and embracing one’s own potential.
