The Homunculus Heroes Shuman Susan Marie Shuman

Short story guru Susan Marie Shuman broadens her expertise while letting her creativity run amok in her first novel: The Homunculus Heroes.

On a first-name basis with their local Hazmat Team, Sebastian & Frankie Limbourg are two adolescent brothers blessed with wild-ass imaginations and IQs to match. Find out what happens when their grandmother sends them a Homunculus Heroes Incubation Kit - that actually works! Through a series of misadventures such as exploding vaccines, Hazmat visits, an interspecies romance between a homunculus and a golem, parental discord - even an abduction - the brothers manage to learn about life, adulting, Judaism, and what family is all about.

Told with humor, insight, and a large dose of fantasy, this little book has an important message for all of us - from young adults to adults young at heart.

Also, you'll find an amusing and from-the-heart foreword by Rabbi Stephen Lewis Fuchs: über-rabbi, prolific author, gifted speaker, and all-around mensch.
