The Astonishing Life of August March/Aaron Jackson

Fantastical. You will have to believe that a newborn baby boy, thrown into the trash in the dressing room of a grand theater in NYC, can not only survive but thrive. INSIDE the theater. An elderly, spinster seamstress found the baby, decided to keep him for her own but couldn’t bring him home...
Alittle Pippi Longstocking, alittle Crawdad Sings, alittle Benjamin Buttons. Maybe some Garp thrown in.
But I have to tell you, I loved this book.
As I read all the incredible things happening in this kids life, I cheered him on! I wanted him to win, against all the odd and odds. And I believe you will, too. Look for it in bookstores in April.
