The Far End of the Park (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780999471500)

This story was inspired by the Beatle's song, "Hey, Jude." Fifty years ago, Lennon and McCartney wrote: "take a sad song and make it better." Forty years ago, Casper's young character named Jude finds a way to do that.

Remember that feeling in the pit of your stomach as a result of your first crush? Kids who had it in for you at school? Adults who thought they had you figured out?

Youth leaves us with some rich memories and some we'd like to forget.

Explore a year of turmoil, revelation, and change in the life of Jude Henley. He turns sixteen while working in a ramshackle camping park for summer tourists.

An older woman needs his help, a landlord has it in for him, and in the end, this shy boy winds up on the front page of the local newspaper.

A steady mom and a message from a dead man buck up Jude's confidence.

Laugh, wince, and cheer as you follow in Jude's footsteps and recall how big our small world was when we were growing up.
