The headlines are full of teen suicides, bullying, and school shootings. Yet often the young are trivialized, or forgotten like a dusty report card in the time capsule of modern education. In his debut novel, Errol Zoog delves beyond the headlines into this world where the illusion of maturity comes earlier than ever, with those common rituals of sex, drugs, and rock and roll, yet for Isaiah Templeton the only way he may be able to get beyond the confusion is by an un-coming of age. A great read for parents and educators, or anyone who once was, or is planning on someday being, eighteen.
