Synopsis

Midway through his summer vacation, eight year-old Huddie Blaylock suddenly realizes the reason for his recent, nagging paranoia: his normal, if slightly dysfunctional family has been replaced by imposters. Possessing the inflexible determination of the young and/or mentally ill, he embarks on a decade-long, cross-country search for the truth that will carry him through second-rate amusement parks, nightmarish nursing homes, 24-hour adult novelty shops and the wilds of Midwestern suburbia.

About this title

About the Author:

An "amazing new talent [in] the world of fiction" (Library Journal), Scott O'Connor is the author of the novel "Untouchable" and the novella "Among Wolves". The New York Times said of "Untouchable": "O'Connor speaks softly and somehow manages to make something beautiful of unspeakable matters...in a voice so insistently stirring, you want to lean in close to catch every word." He was born in Syracuse, New York, the son of an air-traffic controller and a preschool teacher. He lives with his family in Los Angeles.

"O'Connor is one to watch." --The Los Angeles Times Book Review
