If you haven't read this fantastic book by local author, Lance Marcum, I suggest you do. It's awesome and appealing to all ages. My husband read it, I read it to my teenaged daughter when she was younger, and my son is reading it now (he's in third grade). It's set in the 1960s, and it's about a California boy who spends the summer with his cousins in the South. Their adventures are sometimes amusing and sometimes dangerous and intense. The story is fast-paced and entertaining, funny but meaningful. I think you'll love it. The author recently retired from the San Juan Unified School District in Sacramento County and is currently substituting at my son's school. So guess what? He got our book autographed yesterday! I was so excited! If I were still a public library librarian, I'd definitely have Mr. Marcum give a book talk at my branch. He's cool.
No matter where you live or how old you are, read the book. If you are a grade-schooler in the Sacramento area, keep your eyes peeled for a sub named Mr. Marcum.
