Ginter adds a bit of the fantastic to everyday life in his new short story collection. \u003ci\u003eFunny People\u003c\/i\u003e takes ordinary people and places them in amazing situations. Each story carries a unique lesson about growing up, finding your own path in life, or learning to adapt to the obstacles you face along the way. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGinter's \"funny people\" are down-to-earth souls dealing with very relatable issues. In one story, a schoolgirl feels uncertain about her future and turns to her wise grandmother for help. In another, a woman quietly resents her sister's dilettante attitude toward life. Other stories feature a lonely woman dreaming of swimming elephants, a thoroughly average man hiding a strange secret, and a tiny girl yearning to chase after fireflies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThen, something startling happens. A lobster comes waltzing through the front door, hungry for his dinner. A street full of owls voice their thoughts in a way that shocks their audience. Visions of long-departed loved ones appear, and the walls between fantasy and reality begin to fade. As the characters are confronted with fantastic dreams or nightmares, they each must make a choice whether to give in to the magic or deny it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Wayne Ginter\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1978013892\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781978013896\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Createspace Independent Publishing Platform\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/12\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 86\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.21lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.00w x 0.18d","brand":"Wayne Ginter","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48486596641023,"sku":"9781978013896","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_dc7b4c9f-8d04-4e8c-beba-6f30b0e032fc.jpg?v=1778056003","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/funny-people-wayne-ginter-9781978013896","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
