A Moment in Magic Hour
A tender coming-of-age novel set in 1970s Minnesota.1977. Eleven-year-old Jack thinks his world will always stay the same-summer bike rides with his best friend Tommy, comic books from his grandfather's store, and the steady rhythm of small-town life in West Saint Paul.
But when Jack learns his family is moving, his golden summer turns into a season of change. Faced with growing up, saying goodbye, and watching his childhood world fade into memory, Jack discovers the quiet strength that lives inside every farewell-and the beauty of finding magic in ordinary moments.
From John Anthony, author of The Journey of Joseph Winter, this heartfelt novel captures the wonder of childhood, the ache of nostalgia, and the timeless bonds that define who we become.
Perfect for readers who love:
- Nostalgic 1970s and Gen X-era fiction
- Small-town stories about family and friendship
- Heart-warming, emotional coming-of-age tales
- The gentle storytelling of The Wonder Years and Stand By Me
Poignant, funny, and beautifully written - a love letter to the summers that made us who we are.
