The Oddfits
The Oddfits | Tiffany Tsao
4 posts | 8 read | 6 to read
Eight-year-old Murgatroyd Floyd doesn't fit in--not as a blue-eyed blonde living in Singapore, not in school, and certainly not with his aloof expatriate parents, who seem determined to make his life even harder. Unbeknownst to him, there's a reason why he's always the odd boy out: he is an Oddfit, a rare type of human with access to the More Known World, a land invisible to most people. Yet unfortunate circumstances keep Murgatroyd stranded in the Known World, bumbling through life with the feeling that an extraordinary something is waiting for him just beyond reach. Seventeen years later, that something finally arrives when a secret organization dedicated to exploring the More Known World invites Murgatroyd on a mission. But as the consummate loser begins to grow into the Oddfit he was meant to be, the Known World becomes bent on exterminating him. For once in his underachieving life, will Murgatroyd Floyd exceed expectations and outsmart those trying to thwart his stupendous destiny?

I hadn't been keeping up with #aprilbookshowers, but today's prompt is #setinsoutheastasia, and I had to celebrate diverse settings. Some of these are problematic (looking at you, The Windup Girl), but the settings of these books are so good.

Personal fact: My mom grew up in Burma and her family fled the military coup (and the ethnic cleansing -- Burma used to be a giant melting pot for Asia) and ended up in San Francisco.

But I counting down the days until the next book. I may have to reread this one in the mean time. 🕰📚📕📗

What sets The Oddfits apart from the current books for young adults is how it was written. It did not lean towards a very conversational style which most books nowadays tend to do, it told a story the way stories are meant to be told: a little serious, quite rich, and with an air of mystery.

Echo I loved this book! It left me feeling as though, even when I don't fit in, there is place that is meant for me. This book give the 'Oddfits' hope for tomorrow. 💙📚💜📖 9y
Chie @MKWoods Oh yes. This book is lovely. A coming-of-age story written for our young adults in the classic storytelling style. ❤️ 9y
