Critical Praise

"Shawn McBride fills the pages of his novel with dizzying verbal slapstick and inspired silliness while also making us care about his feather-haired, motor-mouth protagonist and his fractured family."

——Dwight Allen, author of The Green Suit and Judge

"The last time I had this much fun in the company of an adolescent was when Ferris Bueller took a day off. Shawn McBride is a hoot and a half."

——Richard Russo, author of Empire Falls
