"Thanks to the book-banners, the fight for intellectual freedom has one more soldier. Me. And with the written word as my weapon, I charge headlong into the fray with my second novel, DUCK EGG BLUE, about a Boy Scout and a high school science teacher who both come under attack from the Religious Right.
"If the book-banners found my first book distasteful, they're just going to LOVE this one!" -- Derrick Neill

Book Description Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. "Duck Egg Blue" captures a slice of life that is typical of many American towns where radical Christians attempt to insert creationism into public schools. The question of the proper place for religious belief is also causing controversy in another American institution - The Boy Scouts, where several cases similar to Cameron Wright's have made national headlines, one even going to the Supreme Court. A promising literary talent and a science teacher himself, Derrick Neill is no stranger to the Darwin vs. the Bible debate. Neill also wrote "Adventures in Spacetime", a controversial science fiction novel that was censored from his school system when members of the religious right took their fight to the school board. Engaging, suspenseful, touching, and timely, "Duck Egg Blue" will move you and it will open your eyes to the dangers of religion used as a political weapon in public schools and other secular institutions. High school freshman Cameron Wright finds that duck egg blue is the perfect color for the river of his small-scale model of the Grand Canyon, a model he's building for a science-class project on evolution. But the project comes under fire from Cameron's ultrareligious father, who objects to the teaching of evolution in science class and demands that "creation science" be given equal time. Derrick Neill captures a slice of life that is typical of many American towns where radical Christians attempt to insert creationism into public schools. Engaging, suspenseful, touching, and timely, Duck Egg Blue will move you and open your eyes to the dangers of Bible education in the classroomz Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
