"Pull out the best adjectives for a luminous comic novel--Wunderli's first--about two boys coming of age in 1939 in Thistle, Utah. At his grandfather's wish, Two Moons--a Navajo--lives with Matt's family in order to go to school. When the boys are 11, Two Mooms goes through the Navajo ceremony to become a man. Matt's induction into adulthood is wilder and funnier, a wonderfully realized fantasy....The story is memorably tuned to the need for fantasy and hope in every life." --Kirkus, pointer.
