Can you imagine a family so utterly foolish that it makes you want to pack your bags and leave town? When a young man discovers just how silly his fiancée and her parents can be, he decides he has finally had enough. He sets off on an unbelievable journey with a single, hilarious goal in mind: to find three people in the world who are even more foolish than his future in-laws! This classic African American folktale takes you on a humorous adventure full of ridiculous encounters and laughable moments. As the young man travels far and wide, you will get to meet a cast of characters who make the most absurd choices imaginable. Will he actually find anyone sillier than the family he left behind, or will he discover that foolishness is just a part of being human? Adapted from the brilliant mind of storyteller Zora Neale Hurston, this funny, engaging tale is sure to keep you laughing out loud while you guess what silly situation will happen next.
