The Saskiad

by Brian Hall

The Saskiad Cover

 

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Longing to escape the rundown commune where she lives with her organic-farmer mother, assorted half-siblings, and a cow named Marilyn, the precociously well-read Saskia White, twelve, imagines herself as the noble contemporary of Odysseys, Marco Polo, and Horatio Hornblower. Saskia's elaborate fantasies are soon upstaged by her real-life, long-lost father, who leads Saskia and her best friend Jane on a camping trip that turns into an epic adventure of love, sex, and lies.

Saskia is as unforgettable as her own heroes, a young girl whose story resonates with a rare and joyous sense of life and discovery.

Synopsis:

A young girl's fantasies of adventure are upstaged and then shattered by the arrival of her long-lost father, who leads the child and her best friend on a camping trip that turns into a magical mystery tour of love, sex, and lies.
