Saving Granny from the Devil is part of Todd Keisling’s Ugly Little Things series.  This story is a work of fiction but it reads like an autobiography. Just like Toddy, Todd did have a Granny that was a very important part of his life.The story is about 8 year old Toddy who has been bullied a lot by classmates Gerald and Brent. One day while out on his own he encounters the 2 bullies and ends up being locked in a kennel with a dead dog.  It is there through the dead dog that he first encounters the Devil.The devil takes on the form of a man and becomes Toddy’s “imaginary friend,” whom he calls Harvey J Winterball. As time passes he begins to realize just who Harvey really is but it is too late. A deal had been struck and now Toddy must abide by it.This is a bittersweet tale, a coming of age story without all the sugarcoating. It's about choices and the consequences of said choices.  I really enjoyed this story along with the other 2 books in this series, Radio Free Nowhere and When Karen Met her Mountain. All of these stories can be read in any order and do stand alone, so do yourself a favor and check them all out!
