Paperback
(Burning Mercury Studios, April 28, 2014)
Melvin is not your average ogre...actually, he is and that's the point! We all have certain talents, tasks we struggle with, or things we're just OK at. Melvin's not defined by his abilities; instead, he loves spending time with his friends and family and just being who he is. And there's nothing ordinary about that!"Melvin the Mediocre Meaty Ogre has an inspiring message about accepting yourself for who you are and being proud of your own unique abilities. It teaches kids that you don't have to be the best at everything; you just have to try hard and have confidence in yourself. My kids loved it so much, we read it twice in a row!"- Jersey Family Fun website (book review)
