"Florez warmly captures the struggle many face when trying to belong—”
"humorous"
"—story that’s easy to relate to."
"M.L. Florez’s THE HEROIC MISADVENTURES OF MACI AND ROLAND is a familiar but enlightening story about finding a way to fit in."
—Gabriella Harrison for IndieReader
"sweet, funny middle-grade novel"
"story's setting is gently, humorously improbable, providing a safe backdrop for Maci's intense emotions, and lovely black-and-grey illustrations help underscore the disconnect between Maci and her community."
"The Heroic Misadventures of Maci and Roland is funny, sweet, and instructive. It gently guides readers to think about what it really means to fit in and find acceptance."
—The Children's Book Review
Maci is an odd little goth girl living in the quaint town of Whimsyville, where every building is pastel-colored and every person is overly cheerful. Her best friend is Roland, an oversized, grumpy dog who loves nothing more than good food and sleeping.
After a few failed attempts to adopt the sunny disposition of those around her and fit in, Maci finds herself at the town’s square where the event of the year is announced: Hero of Whimsyville. A brilliant idea pops into her mind that she believes is the key to being finally accepted. What if Roland joins the contest and wins?
What follows is an adventure—and a bit of fun misadventure—that will bring Maci so much more than what she initially hoped.
