Saygar the Magnificent

Join the socially awkward Joseph and the mischievous Saygar in this one-of-a-kind, hilarious, action-packed adventure!

CAN SAYGAR BE EL CUCUY, LA LLORONA, OR JUST AN OLD FASHION CURSE? When Joseph Mateo captures an ant in a soda bottle to bring as a show-and-tell project, he is shocked by the sudden appearance of a weird looking kid in the classroom closet. This wasn’t some ordinary transfer kid –it was his ant from that morning, miraculously transformed into a human size ant. After finding clothes for the ant and naming him Saygar A. Hill, Joseph hides him in plain sight, in his classroom: room 106. Joseph watches Saygar’s every move to make sure no one finds out his true identity – which is hard considering the two antennae coming out of his head. Together, Joseph and Saygar deal with a bossy know-it-all, a bully, and an imaginary Madagascar hissing cockroach. You’ve never seen a duo like this before!

REVIEW: "A fantastic plot fusion between E. T. and Dr. Seuss's "What Was I Scared Of?", Saygar the Magnificent by Elizabeth Jurado will warp you right back to your days in elementary school even as a full-grown adult. An easy to read story surrounding a strange week in the life of a 3rd-grade boy that people of all backgrounds, classes and genders can easily relate to, Jurado's book stays true to the extreme highs and lows of raw emotionality throughout childhood development in a fictional yet down-to-earth tale, reminding us that guardian angels come in all forms, shapes, and sizes." --- Erick Kusmirek
