5/3/2018 1 Comment Glenn McCarty WritesTHE BOOK Inspired by buddy adventure novels like Homer Price, The Great Brain, and The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, the story follows 12-year-old Eugene Appleton, whose summer in the frontier town of Rattlesnake Junction, Colorado, promises to be just as sleepy as the ones before, with his only excitement provided by the pulse-pounding Dead-Eye Dan adventure novels he devours. But Eugene’s life swerves into unexpected territory with the arrival of Tumbleweed Thompson, a gangly, red-haired drifter who spins yarns about whaling voyages in the Atlantic and ice fishing with the Inuits. It’s a novel about friendship, adventure, belonging, and finding out there’s a whole lot more out there than you first thought. Pub date: TBA Genre: Middle Grade YA Donate: Tumbleweed Kickstarter Campaign Other titles by Glenn: Horace and Oscar Visit the Lake Genre: Children's Amazon THE AUTHOR Glenn McCarty is the author of the children's chapter book Horace and Oscar Visit the Lake.
