With a starred review from Kirkus Reviews calling it an "charming account to prize," The Truly Amazing Unforeseen catches one's heart and the imagination.Humorous and sincere, this can be a history of pairs—of youthful Naomi and Lizzie, both orphans in current-time Blackbird Shrub, Us, and of Sybil and Nula, grown-up siblings from faraway Rook's Orchard, Ireland, who've become estranged.Young Naomi Deane is brimming with attention and her closest friend, Lizzie Scatterding, can talk the ears off a cornfield. Naomi includes a talent to be around when trouble occurs. She understands all of the people in town—like Insane Cora and Witch Wiggins.
