Striking Out details:
Packed with "comedic roughhousing and [a] continual bag of tricks" (The US Review of Books), Striking Out introduces us to Calvin Connor III, a fourteen-year-old Irish immigrant stuck in rural Pennsylvania. Calvin joins Troop 666 for a summer camp adventure that forever alters his future path.
Joined by old friend Sandy, a new pal named Art, and stalwarts like Ryan and Spazz, Calvin fights through challenge after challenge — and an endless line of dumb grown-ups. Along the way, he meets an acne-plagued but deliciously yummy young girl who is more than his match.
This summer camp changes everything. The awkward boy who sets forth for Connecticut to roast hot dogs at campfires is not the young man who returns to Pennsylvania.
No work of fiction has ever captured the awkwardness of growing up, the delight of having a crush, and the stank of a camp latrine broiling in the summer sun quite like this one.
Read the book that critics say "keeps readers on their toes with all the shenanigans!" (The US Review of Books)
Foul Territory details:
Putting Camp Souviens (and the demise of Troop 666) behind him, Calvin Connor focuses on finishing high school. But his latest choices pull him back into the spotlight, like that one time on Sean Corgan's front yard ...
Calvin falls in love with Kitty Howe, the only blind student at Axsubeen High, creating a celebrity couple that's the talk of the town. His friendship/rivalry with Art Maguire reaches a fulcrum point over (of all things) vocabulary. And Calvin's destiny as a major league sensation begins in earnest after a heated moment in the high school cafeteria.
If only the little wanker hadn't brought an orange in for lunch that day ...
No work of fiction has ever captured the rivalry of teen boys, the agony of Algebra tests, and the intoxicating sting of a hit of Binaca right before you put a move on a girl quite like this one.
