How old were you when you ventured out alone, thinking only of what lay ahead, ignoring all left behind? What is your first recollection of running with a posse; trespassing when forewarned of danger? Did you know the possibility of violating an unwritten rule; how old were you when held accountable? When did you first process information received from mass media and form an opinion of your very own? When did you first dance? Who was your first love and why? When did you discover life is sacred, as is service and at times suffering, sorrow and even silence? Who placed boundaries on your behavior and why? When did you first consider the needs of another before caring for personal comfort? When did you first recognize your place in the world, and maybe, just possibly you aren’t as alone as you once thought; belonging to Something or Someone bigger than yourself?
For Cazz and his friends these “firsts” are in progress and experienced at a variety of levels and intensities. The year is 1967 and the grade is third in a school in high mountains of New York. The location is remote but not so far as to obscure a reader's view of mountain life, ‘the way it may have been.’
Abanakee Junction Reading, 'Riting and Recollections, a school year in a nine year old, New York mountain boy's life.
AN UNSOLICITED REVIEW!! From Dan T., Precincts Unknown
( five out of 5 stars) Great comedic writing and wonderful illustrations
The memories of the author of the years he was raised in a small Adirondack village are often a riot. He noticed the small things that made his childhood a time of reflection, growth, adventure and just plain fun. The ending of the book is so well written. Along with the great writing are pencil drawings that fit the book to a T. The author had such variety in his early life and one pines to go back to those days in the 60s, when life seemed much more personal and slow moving but hardly ever dull. (This novel is appropriate for ages 12-102.)
