The events of that fateful day will be revealed on her thirteenth birthday and there is nothing he can do to stop it. Joee and her three best friends, Stump, Wheels, and Sarah are physically challenged but that’s not all they have in common. They’re bullied on a daily basis and they each possess magic abilities they don’t know they have. When they find an old map that shows underground tunnels leading to the #7 Coal Mine, they join forces to find what they believe is hidden treasure. Their adventure uncovers the truth about the mysterious case and their magical powers. It’s a set destiny that will pit them against a town full of bullies, a corrupt banker who isn’t what he seems, and Maulick, a man so evil, he cannot possibly be from their world. The Little Rednecks is about the difficulties that physically challenged children face. It highlights the problem with stereotypes and shows bullying at its worst. It is a story about heart and dedication, and the friendship, dreams, and hopes of four physically challenged kids who prove that they really are like every other kid their age.
