A retired grim reaper and mail carrier find companionship through a package and criminal goose.
Vale knows how to care for creatures that need somewhere safe to rest.
Margot knows how to turn scraps of paper into the life she wishes she had.
One accidental gift is about to bring their two quiet worlds together.
At 31 Birdsong Drive, retired grim reaper Vale Underwood spends their days carving tiny homes for wandering spirits, learning how to order packages online, and managing the wildlife in their yard, especially one criminal goose named Ginger.
When mail carrier Margot Stott finds a sparkly stone after delivering Vale’s very first package, she assumes the mysterious resident of number 31 left it for her. Vale knows better, but when Margot’s delight inspires them to leave a handmade gift of their own, one small misunderstanding becomes the beginning of an unexpected friendship.
Between exchanged gifts, stolen federal property, craft nights beneath the trees, and the discovery that Birdsong Drive is far stranger than it appears, Margot begins to wonder if the life she once imagined only in scrapbooks might not be so impossible after all.
Wooden Wonders is a cozy low-stakes fantasy filled with handmade magic, woodland creatures, platonic partnership, and a happily-ever-after built on friendship.
