06.02: Brian Doyle
2015-05-18 20:04:51| Powells Books Events Calendar
Dave is 14 years old, eager, headlong, and living with his family in a cabin on Mount Hood (or as Dave prefers to call it, like the Native Americans once did, Wy'east). He is entering high school, adulthood not far off on the horizon, and contemplating a future away from his mother, father, and precocious younger sister. And Dave is not the only one approaching adulthood and its freedoms on Wy'east that summer. Martin, a pine marten (a small animal of the deep woods, of the otter/mink family), is leaving his own mother and siblings and setting off on his own as well. Martin Marten (Thomas Dunne Books) is a braided coming-of-age tale like no other, told in Brian Doyle's joyous, rollicking style.
