Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

High School kids in Salmon Falls are much the same as high school kids anywhere else: bored. In the far reaches of Ira County, Vermont, in the dead of winter, it seems there's nothing to do. But when eighteen-year-old Kyle Nelson and a handful of friends decide to challenge the status quo with an act of civil disobedience, they discover that there's more to do than they ever bargained for.

Garret Keizer's gripping novel about young men and women desperate for change bears witness to the dangerous force of ideas and the searing power of friendship. Here is a novel that looks truth squarely in the eye, and dares to keep on looking.

Synopsis:

In remote Ira County, Vermont, things seem to always stay the same. But when a group of high-school seniors decides to challenge the status quo, they bring about greater change than they ever bargained for.

Garret Keizer is a former English teacher at Lake Region Union High School in Orleans, Vermont...the school I go to now. His book is so realistic. The the past five years, there has been at least one car-cash related accident involving someone from LR. Most of the time, alcohol was involved. I just want people to realize that when they read this book its not just fiction....
