Gregory Maguire’s The Lightning Time is his first novel, marking the debut of an author who would later gain international recognition for works such as Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West. The novel follows twelve-year-old Daniel Rider’s summer visit to his grandmother in the Adirondacks, where he discovers magical phenomena, a mysterious relative named Carrie, and becomes embroiled in her efforts (and his own) to resist a developer’s plan to build a resort on her mountain — all while witnessing strange lightning, animal dances, and inexplicable transformations.
