Description:

Symby is terrified, You'd be scared too, if you were tiny and furry and had just arrived alone on a strange planet with creatures that seem to be more interested in eating you than making friends. Getting eaten would be a real shame, because Symby''s got the ability to heal whomever helps it survive.
Jody and Missy are scared too. They're teenagers in love, but their love is destined to end prematurely as their terminal diseases slowly take their toll. If only there were a magical cure that would keep their love alive forever...
No matter how hard he tries, Spud just can't beat the grip of the bottle. He's been homeless for a long time now. He'd give anything to see his wife and son again, but he's pretty sure he's not going to be forgiven for leaving unless he gets his life back on track. To do that, he's going to need help, but from where?
Snuffles, Jody's beagle, is getting on in years, as the pain in his joints keeps reminding him. He's scared too, because lately Jody's mother has been talking about “putting Snuffles down” to spare him his pain. Snuffles needs help, and fast. Right now, though, there's a tiny, furry creature crawling around in his backyard that appeared right after that weird green rock landed in his food bowl. Time for a snack?!
Symby is a magical, heartwarming fantasy filled with tales of first love, selflessness and redemption. Enjoy the mystery of Symby's nature and fall in love with Snuffles, but know that the true strength of Symby lies in the loving, supportive relationships of the characters — they're symbiotic! Written in the whimsical, wondrous spirit of the Wizard of Oz, Symby is a novel for the ages- for all ages!
