My family curled up on our couch tonight and fell in love with a little boy... Timothy Green. We laughed and cried and smiled our way through a wonderful story. It is a unique story that reaches out to all ages, reminding me of the feel of Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium. There is a lesson to be learned, but not everybody learns the same lesson.
I feel this way about Diary of a Freak. There is a lesson to be learned.
I recently received two reviews from the ABNA contest and am eager to learn and improve from them. Although there was a lot of praise in the style and content, one of the comments was that the reader had no idea what the plot could be from the pitch. It was intriguing, but didn't share enough.
So, after watching this unique movie tonight, I wondered what its blurb could be. Here is what I found:
After receiving bad news from a fertility doctor, Cindy and Jim Green try to bury their dreams of having a child by writing out all the great traits their child would have and putting them in a box in the garden. During a freak storm in the middle of the night, they awake to find a boy named Timothy, with leaves growing from his ankles, standing in their kitchen calling them mom and dad. Cindy and Jim are thrown into the midst of parenthood and over the coming months, Timothy will teach them more than they could have imagined about being parents and raising a child, no matter how he comes into their lives.
I like it. It is simple and intriguing and seems to give just enough away. My question to all of you is, what would you share about Diary of a Freak to draw in a new set of readers?
