FAW (From Another World) Synopsis P.A, Liba Middle Grade Fantasy Chapter Book 28,050 Words – 19 Chapters
SAMMY (age 11) acts as the family detective, after his mom places an order by phone that is weird in itself. When the order arrives, Mrs. Smith almost goes into shock as the F.A.W. truck's DELIVERYMAN unloads 17 not-your-ordinary sheepdogs, each covered in red polka dots and green stripes. Sammy has to steady Mrs. Smith as she reluctantly signs the delivery slip with the deliveryman’s purple pen that matches his purple bubblegum. His pen writes in red polka dots underlined in green. With MR. SMITH losing his job, Sammy's parents are uncertain how they will support themselves and the sheepdogs. Sammy’s detective work begins when he remembers the words on the other side of the F.A.W. delivery truck. He finds the F.A.W. truck but it disappears in a poof leaving only piles of goop that Sammy must explore. In the goop he discovers and brings home two puppy sheepdogs that match the big dogs, along with bed fleas with their tiny beds, scary bugs with small fangs, colorful squirming silly jelly pigs, an old wooden box, and a magical purple pen. The wooden box reveals F.A.W.’s secrets as Sammy learns what his family must do with all their talented critters.

Ready or not, F.A.W. has made Sammy's family circus owners... a circus never before experienced by anyone. OL' WHEEZY, a family acquaintance who lives near the area where the F.A.W. truck disappears, is a mystery all on his own. Can he be trusted, along with others who become suspects in mysteries that surround the critters and the circus owners? The circus acts are jaw-dropping and Ol' Wheezy's transformation once at the circus is unbelievable. The later arrival of two more large winged gifts from F.A.W. keeps everyone guessing. Detective Sammy's imagination, bravery and hard work guide the family and critters to possibilities unimagined. One more surprise is announced as Mom blushes, and all Sammy wonders about is whether this new baby, a human critter, will be able to do circus tricks.
