Seventies Child (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781530881420)

Seventies Child recalls a bygone era when children were free to explore and often ran wild. A collection of humorous and often heartfelt stories that examine universal themes that define growing up: sibling rivalry, fear, bullying, envy, peer pressure, friendship, and infatuation. This fictional memoir follows hero/anti-hero Samuel Ballard as he struggles to mature from five to fifteen in 1970s suburban Boston. Whether he's battling insomnia and his brother to be the first to open his presents in "The Christmas Alarm Clock", teaming with his best friend weirdo Jocko to dodge jail in "The Card Heist", or reluctantly associating with the hated "Preps" to woo his dream girl in the "The First Girlfriend", Samuel is hard to root against despite his proclivity towards mischief. Seventies Child is a time warp back to the days of disco starring a rock & roll bad boy.
