" Maguire takes a big departure from his usual modern fairy tale genre and instead paints a portrait of a small town in upstate New York, complete with a cast of wacky characters, congregation rivalries, coming-of-age moments, parent issues, and a flying Baby Jesus. The plot teeters on the edge of absurdity, particularly surrounding Leontina Scales, who seems to suffer a mental breakdown after being hit on the head by a statue of Mary, and her three out-of-control children. I'd give it three stars for being an entertaining read, definitely suitable for the beach. "
