Bookroo's summary

As their day unfolds, visual clues reveal the hidden links between seemingly ordinary actions. What mysteries will unravel in this intricate dance of cause and effect?

From the publisher

Albert and his trusty mare, June, set off early on market day to sell their melons in town, thus beginning a mysterious chain of events in a thought-provoking journey that ex-poses ordinary life as an intricate sequence of action and reaction. “Despite its brevity, the book forces readers to keep track of several story lines at the same time, which culminate in an entertaining ride through Macaulayville. . . . Fiercely provocative, but mostly – funny.” – Kirkus Reviews, pointer
