But His Adventures Were Only Beginning
The Oddfits (The Oddfits, volume 1)
By Tiffany Tsao
2016’s The Oddfits is the first volume in Tiffany Tsao’s Oddfits series.
Returning to his native Singapore after decades of adventure elsewhere, Yusuf bin Hassim opens an ice cream store. His store is also a means of finding just the right person for a special role. His vigilance is rewarded: Yusuf recognizes in young Murgatroyd Floyd a kindred spirit, someone with the necessary qualities. All Yusuf need do now is inform the boy of his great destiny.
This is not to be. Murgatroyd visits his favourite ice cream store to find it closed. Yusuf has died of old age. The wonderful secret he was going to tell Murgatroyd is left unsaid.
Years pass.
