5.0 out of 5 stars I liked the short chapters

I liked the short chapters, the overall length of the book; easy to read in an afternoon, the references to Oregon and how relatable the characters are. This story has a wholesome, faith-building message that captures the imagination, your attention and leaves you wanting to read more. Hoping for a sequel.

5.0 out of 5 stars We (and our children) need more stories like Joey Flynn
Reviewed in the United States on February 10, 2021

Joey Flynn has moved with his family from California to Oregon. His dad has a new job, and the family’s new house is in a remote area, not far from Multnomah Falls. Joey’s rather miserable; he’s left behind everything that’s familiar, including friends and school.

One good thing about the new home is the nearby forest, perfect for an 11-year-old boy to explore. What he doesn’t expect to find is Zibbis, a roughly three-foot tall, well, something, like a racoon who walks around on two legs. Zibbis hands joy a silver calling card that reads “Special Agent Zibbis, Department of Children’s Needs and Emergencies.”

The strange creature doesn’t explain where he’s from, but Joey discovers his new friend is extremely resourceful (with a kangaroo-like pouch full of bubble gum soda and purple stones ideal for skimming across water, among other things). What Zibbis doesn’t say, or at least say immediately, is what his mission is. And the mission has a lot to do with Joey.

“Joey Flynn’s Extraordinary Tale” by Meghan White is the story of what happens to Joey and his new friend Zibbis during that first summer in Oregon. Joey is going to learn about trust, faith, and putting others before himself.

The short novel is White’s first published work. She says it began when her family lived in Oregon and her husband got an idea for an illustrated book, based on a character he’d drawn. She resisted the idea for years, until the family moved to Texas, where she finally wrote the story.

“Joey Flynn’s Extraordinary Tale” is reminiscent of the Glade series of novels by Martha Orlando. A mythical-like character appears to guide a troubled boy to an understanding of faith and self. We need more stories about children like Joey Flynn; Our children do, too.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great lesson of trusting God through grief/ transition
Reviewed in the United States on June 4, 2018

A delightful story for young boys! This is written FOR boys without melodrama yet full of adventure and mystery. I think boys will be able to relate to the main character's frustrations while living vicariously through his hobbies and ventures. The message of trusting in God through life's griefs and transitions is a life-long truth both boys and girls need. (And I do think girls would love this book too.) I hope there will be many more from author Meghan White!

5.0 out of 5 stars ~~ Moving can work out okay even if you are a kid! ~~

Moving from California to Oregon due to Dad having a new job is NOT Joey's idea of fun. Things are much greener in Oregon and it is not long before Joey is out exploring the land that they have on their property. Who is Zibbis? A creature with a British accent? How does Joey get the idea to start building a tree house with his Dad? When Joey goes to town with his family, he is very intrigued by the old man in the junk store. What is in the old coffee can? What does BATACH stand for?

This is a wonderful story of a boy adjusting to life in a new state, making a friend and starting a Saturday job. GREAT book that you can give your kids to read without worrying about what they are reading. I downloaded this book onto my Kindle. I was not required to write a review but chose to do so. Thanks, Liz

We love this book! My son is 7 1/2 and we are reading this together. He really likes the idea of Joey and his adventures in the forest near his home. He loves his parents, but he loves to be on his own having adventures and hanging out in his fort. And, the character, Zibbis--very different than any other we've read about. He is super excited about what will happen next.

I really enjoyed the story and the characters. It reminded me very much of my own family and life in the Pacific Northwest. Looking forward to the author’s next book.
