Channeling

Jimmy Chestnut is an ordinary boy living in 1960s Louisiana - until an inexplicable ability changes his life forever. After a seemingly minor accident, Jimmy discovers he can "channel" the voices and personas of anyone he knows. From teachers to bullies, mothers to friends, Jimmy doesn't just impersonate - he becomes them.

But with great power comes even greater confusion. As Jimmy experiments with his newfound gift, he realizes how deeply voices can hold secrets, sorrows, and hopes. Alongside his loyal friend Chuckie, and under the loving yet cautious guidance of his widowed mother Mary, Jimmy grapples with questions about identity, morality, and purpose.

Set against the nostalgic backdrop of 1960s small-town America, Channeling is a heartwarming yet thought-provoking story about a boy's extraordinary gift and the unexpected ways it transforms the lives of those around him.

Blending humor, tenderness, and a touch of mystery, Joe Roberts Caputo takes readers on a journey into the power of empathy, connection, and the voices that shape us all.

Perfect for fans of coming-of-age stories, heartfelt family dramas, and magical realism.
