- Synopsis
- Mister Boots is a 190 page fantasy novel for children written by the award-winning author Carol Emshwiller and first published in 2005. The summary by Viking reads as follows: Bobby has some important secrets-but it's not as if anyone's paying attention. It's the middle of the Depression, and while Bobby's mother and older sister knit all day to make money, Bobby explores the California desert around their home. That's how Bobby finds Boots. He's under their one half-dead tree, half-dead himself. Right away he's a secret, too-a secret to be fed and clothed and taken care of, and even more of a secret because of what he can do. Sometimes Boots is a man. Sometimes he's (really, truly) a horse. Me and Bobby both know something about magic-and readers will, too, after reading Carol Emshwillers acclaimed first novel for Viking.

Mister Boots is a very interseting book. It is one of the best fantasy books I have ever read.Not too much action though and I found a couple errors....
