About this title: Powell's first novel, set in a Southern town, introduces Simons Manigault, one of the most vividly rendered characters in recent fiction--a smart, funny, and outrageous young narrator in the grand literary tradition of Huck Finn and Holden Caulfield.

"I loved the southern mannerisms and the sarcasms. The narrator gave me memorable quotes that I keep posted here and there years after first reading. A good summertime read."
"This book is phenomenal. I am lately obsessed with southern writing, and this hits it on the head with a privileged white kid living with his professorial mother and her transient lover/his babysitter in a forgotten part of the south near Hilton Head. The writing is brilliant, but also captures the confusion and not-quite-adultness of being middle school age."
