Putter's Purple Power Toe

About the Book

Putter's Purple Power Toe is a humorous, fictional, 60-page chapter book for children ages 6 to 12 years (and older). It is written by Sue Olson Gee and illustrated by her nephew Nate Josephs.

On his parent' s farm in 1958, a 10 year old boy named Putter stubs his toe on a mysterious purple rock in the woods while playing hide-and-seek. He is unaware that he now has magic powers in his purple toe, until his pet gerbil starts talking and his brother stops.

Go along with Putter to his little two-room country school in Big Bend City, and relive some of the author's memories in that special haven in Minnesota. Follow Putter's exciting adventures through a year of carefully making twelve wishes and discovering that "good" wishes are the most rewarding.
