What is paradise for a fourteen-year-old boy? For Conrad it's definitely not dusty Los Angeles, where he's stuck living with his mother and his cheeky little sisters. And it's not the school full of rich kids - despite a certain someone with brown eyes whose name starts with the letter A. Paradise is the forest where his dad still lives, by the water where he belongs.* IndieReader Discovery Awards 2019: Winner of Best First Book (fiction)* Eric Hoffer Book Awards 2019: Finalist, General Fiction* Next Generation Indie Book Awards 2019: Finalist for both Fiction and First NovelA year in the life of a teenager in the early 1980's: a coming-of-age novel of sorts, but also a story about siblings in a broken family, and about the echoes of history, and about art, and about burritos, and about toads, and about girls.
