The New and Improved Romie Futch by Julia Elliott

5.0

So so good! My big discovery from the Southern Festival of Books this year. I loved the first, science-fictiony half, where Romie is participating in the research project, and I loved the second, far-less-easy-to-categorize half, where Romie goes on his quest for the mutant boar, builds taxidermied animatronic dioramas, and deals with the consequences of being new and improved. Elliott was articulate and dryly funny at SoFest, and I'll be looking for all of her books now!
