Review & Description
Ten years ago, Joee Alexander’s grandfather used magic to hide a mysterious silver case inside the #7 Coal Mine. The events of that fateful day will be revealed on her thirteenth birthday and there is nothing he can do to stop it.
Joee and her three best friends, Stump, Wheels, and Sarah are physically challenged but that’s not all they have in common. They’re bullied on a daily basis and they each possess magic abilities they don’t know they have.
When they find an old map that shows underground tunnels leading to the #7 Coal Mine, they join forces to find what they believe is hidden treasure. Their adventure uncovers the truth about the mysterious case and their magical powers. It’s a set destiny that will pit them against a town full of bullies, a corrupt banker who isn’t what he seems, and Maulick, a man so evil, he cannot possibly be from their world.
The Little Rednecks is about the difficulties that physically challenged children face. It highlights the problem with stereotypes and shows bullying at its worst. It is a story about heart and dedication, and the friendship, dreams, and hopes of four physically challenged kids who prove that they really are like every other kid their age.
REVIEWS:
With a strong focus on bullying, Robinson manages to not only bring up the issue of bullying seamlessly in the story, but also creates disabled characters that are strong and heroic. It's great to finally see a book that doesn't approach disability with a simpering smile, and tackles the issue head on, with characters that are interesting and are in no way victims: Claire Chilton – Author of Whatever Became of the Squishies
The fantastic thing about The Little Rednecks is that not only is the book socially conscious, it's a thrilling adventure as well. I loved them because they are real. They are kids who make off-color jokes, who try to deal with the cruelty they encounter in their small town and at their school. They are not cardboard cutouts meant to "educate young readers," far from it. The setting is perfectly done, and the dialogue is funny and tender and exactly right in tone: Alison DeLuca – Author of The Night Watchman Express
As a former educator, I can see where this newly released piece of literary genius will become a classic on the shelves of libraries and classrooms, providing a great resource for further education in how to eradicate once and for all the terribly hurtful and damaging practice of Bullying: Clu Gallagher – Author of Shattered Seeds: Sophia’s Story
